Morning Devotional:
Do you ever get afraid of making a mistake? I do, and that fear can be almost paralyzing.
At times I get so afraid of making a mistake that I flat out avoid stepping out in faith. That’s too bad because God can handle any mistake we can make. I know because I’ve made plenty of them. Here’s the good news, though. If you are faithful to act on God’s Word out of the sincerity of your heart, Jesus will be there for you no matter how many mistakes you make.
I believe He proved that the night Peter jumped out of the boat to walk on the water. Peter hadn’t been praying or seeking God’s will before he did that. He just blurted out on impulse, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come.” What was Jesus supposed to say? He could have said, “Wait a minute, Peter. Let’s think this through. Do you really have enough faith to get out here? You had better stay in that boat or you’re going to drown.” He didn’t say that to Peter, and He won’t say that to you.
If you want to get out and walk by faith, He’ll get out there with you and pick you up when you start sinking. He’ll walk you back to the boat if you need Him to. Don’t let your fear of failure keep you from taking that step of faith. It’s time to get out of the boat!
