Seek Me and I hear your praises. Open your mouth and I will teach you what pleases Me.
Put your foot forward and I will give you strength, direction and freedom.
Have the desire, yield your will and I will fulfill that my Son might be glorified in what and who you are becoming in His name.
Have the desire and I, your God, will implement it as you relax in Me. My strength takes over as you release your all to me.
Psalm 18:16
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. (NIV)
Psalm 66:6
He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot- come, let us rejoice in him. (NIV)
Psalm 106:11
The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived. (NIV)
Matthew 14:28
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." (NIV)
Matthew 14:30
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" (NIV)
Prayer: Thank you dear Jesus for Peter, who teaches us so much, thank you that he is included. He walked on water and he looked away and sank BUT JESUS you reached out and saved him AND us. AMEN

Good work Marijo. On my best days, I keep my eyes on Jesus and He uses me. On my worst days, I only see the waves and sink. Thanks for the reminder that Peter was the same way and God used him anyway. Very encouraging.YEs, and sometimes all we need to do is start walking (like Moses into the waters) and He takes over and then does what is totally needed - but we have to take that first step. Thanks for reading this and for joining my fan club, Steve! Marijo (Mary Jo - dad was a creative speller)
