Walk, wade, swim or sink ...it's your choice

Talking about walking on water, I tried taking swimming lessons so I can share a hobby with my children. One of our warm-up exercises was to walk in the water...it was difficult!!! Walking on water sounds easier than walking in water - is it? We can't be too sure which one is easier when the water is turbulent as it was when Jesus "invited" Peter to walk on water.

I wonder if Peter, an experienced fisherman, even considered swimming when he started sinking.

When thrust in water of life, rather than sink, do your best to wade or swim towards the Lord if you can't walk on the water. Make progress towards the only One who can lift you out of those turbulent waters.

We have a promise in Isaiah 43:2a
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. (New Living Translation (NLT))

This one promise we should all hold on to as we "walk on water".

Believe me, I know it's difficult to remember this promise sometimes.

Why walk on water?

Peter had a choice to leave the boat or not. For most of us, we do not get an opportunity to choose, we get thrust into water and we need the Lord to help us to WALK ON WATER

So what does the phrase "Walking on Water" mean to you? Walking on water is a "Wow" moment. Think about it, what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear of the impossible becoming possible? "Wow!" comes to my mind.


Our vision is that this blog will provide women an opportunity to share their "Wow" moments.

It's our prayer that this blog will be instrumental in making us women of wonder as we continue "walking on water". Let's share with and learn from each other - iron sharpens iron.

Walking on water

A bit about the blog title:

The phrase "Walk on water" is based on the following Bible passage.

Matthew 14:25-32 (Contemporary English Version)

25 A little while before morning, Jesus came walking on the water toward his disciples.
26 When they saw him, they thought he was a ghost. They were terrified and started screaming.
27 At once, Jesus said to them, "Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid."
28 Peter replied, "Lord, if it is really you, tell me to come to you on the water."
29 "Come on!" Jesus said. Peter then got out of the boat and started walking on the water toward him.
30 But when Peter saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid and started sinking. "Save me, Lord!" he shouted.
31 Right away, Jesus reached out his hand. He helped Peter up and said, "You surely don't have much faith. Why do you doubt?"
32 When Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind died down.


I don't know about you but for me, I face all sorts of challenges and I've found out that for as long as I obey Jesus, focus on Him and walk towards Him, I'm guaranteed victory. However, I get distracted by the sound of the wind and waves around me...does this also happen to you?
