Seeing is NOT believing!
We seem to be teaching people to lower the bar. The bar, the standard is Jesus Psalm 18:28 For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
30 As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
As for God, His way is perfect, so, is ours? Is it supposed to be? Are we supposed to be in Christ, or in ourselves? If we are in Christ, then our ways become His ways, His desires become ours, His love becomes our love, and isn't that perfect after all? But we will mess up? Are you sure, is that what you're banking on, you? What if we focused on Him instead of us, or our circumstance, our situation? Then we could walk on the water, for good. The only reason Peter stopped was because he started doubting God's word and started believing in his understanding instead. Yeah, we'll sink too if we do that, but what if we don't doubt. I mean, do we have to doubt, does it say that somewhere? Are we commanded to doubt, because I wouldn't want to disobey God, and trust or something, when I was supposed to be doubting this whole time.
Peter believed and walked on the water, last time I checked, that's impossible. then he doubted, and he sank. So, why doubt? Why believe you have to doubt? Why not just have the faith of a child, and believe? It's only when we're taught otherwise do we start to doubt.
Think about it; When you were a child, you believed a red fat man could come down your chimney and deliver your presents, and you didn't even have a chimney. Then what happened, you were finally taught that he wasn't real, so you stopped believing. You got old. When we become mature in Christ, we're still supposed to believe as a child.
Believe, it's a lot better than doubting!
