We're done overthinking. We're done scanning for danger. We're done focusing on the negative that's preventing us from doing what's best for our lives. It's time to step out of the boat and just say screw it - I'm choosing to have faith I won't sink. And if I do sink, God's gonna catch me.
In the bible, Peter is asleep in the boat when he sees Jesus walking on water. He's a brave, bold man and tells Jesus he wants to be on the water with him.
Jesus calls for him to come.
Peter steps out of the boat - that was the first big test of faith - but then he does what so many of us do ... instead of focusing on Jesus, he focuses on his circumstances. He sees the waves crashing ... and panics. Instantly he sinks.
Jesus grabs his arm, pulls him up and says, "Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Been there! And that's the question I have for you. Well? Why did you doubt?
Today is the day we flop outta the boat. See you on the other side.
