Walking on Water - Week of April 21, 2019

Matthew 14:28-30 King James Version (KJV)

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

Today we celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Bless the Wonderful Name Jesus.
Because He lives we can stand on the assurance that we live also.  Presently and for eternity.  Jesus paid it all.  The account has been settled.
Jesus said, "I am the way."  He told us, "follow me." He proclaimed, "I am the Resurrection and the Life."  He declared, "I and my Father are one."  He invites us, "Come unto me."  He instructs us, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."
Right now just as with Peter the Lord extends the invitation for us to walk on water.  Water walking exemplifies surrender.  Water walking requires unwavering faith.  To walk on water our life must be surrendered.
Just thinking about Jesus.  O the blood of Jesus.  Shed for you and for me.
Pondering the words of the songwriter: "One day when I was lost He died upon the cross.  I know it was the blood for me."  Jesus.  Just Jesus. Only Jesus could satisfy the requirement of God to secure our redemption.  
I feel like walking on water.  I know the currents will hold me.  I know my passage will be safe.  Jesus is the Captain.  Whether in the safety of a boat signifying the good times or outside of the boat almost submerged in grief, illustrating perilous times, I see the lifeboat coming.  It is Jesus at the helm.
Salvation.
Easter morning or Resurrection Sunday however you acknowledge the day, the importance is in the one who has provided our eternal life. Jesus. Walking on water. Jesus, carrying an old rugged cross.  Jesus, at Mt. Calvary. Jesus rising from the dead with all power in His hands.  Jesus.
Glory to His Name.  I am so thankful. I have such joy in my soul.  I am walking on water, my Lord and I.
God bless!
in Christ, 
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
