It's that step of faith. Doing something we never thought we could. For me, it was volunteering at a homeless shelter. I had been feeling God prodding me for a couple of months. Finally, I filled out an information form and sent it in. I was quickly contacted for a tour. The next week I toured both the mens facility and the women and children's facility. I felt so at home at either shelter. My one day a week quickly became two and a few months later turned into a full time job.
And it all started with a step of faith. Getting out of my comfort zone and trusting God. If God's prodding you to do something, what's holding you back?
Matthew 14:24-33
24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!”
27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” He said. “Take courage. I am here!”
28 Then Peter called to Him, “Lord, if it’s really You, tell me to come to You, walking on the water.”
29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said.
So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt Me?”
32 When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed.
