“Walk With Me”

“But for some reason, I had a knowing, that whatever was going to happen, it was going to be ok. Storms come and go…

…And I awoke.”

-excerpt from the blog, Thou Art With Me

In a previous post, Thou Art With Me, I had a dream I was walking towards an approaching storm, and what I learned by it.

To further confirm my thoughts about the dream: What Peter said, and experienced, in Matt. 14:25-29 “Shortly before dawn, Jesus went out to them…”, tells me that instead of asking God to remove any storm I’m going through in life, I should be asking Him to help me walk through it (and above it) with Him.

Think about it… if we were out at sea at night, and a tremendous storm came upon us, my first and foremost prayer would be, “Lord, please stop this storm before we die! Take it away. Please remove the storm!”

This passage of scripture is sometimes preached using Peter’s lack of faith by “beginning to sink”. But, I sense the greater revealing of Peter’s character was not even that he walked on water…but that he asked NOT to remove the storm, but to walk through the storm…with the Lord.

Whatever happens to me (or any of us) in life, whatever storms come upon me, I am convinced their outcome is for my good, because in each of them I am privileged to hear a Voice in my spirit asking me, “Come…

…Walk with Me”.
