The Hallmark of Gods work in us is that He dispatches us into worlds that nobody else has ever conquered. Study the story of Peter walking on the water. Three miles out on the sea of Galilee the disciple saw Jesus gliding towards them on the water. They shrieked themselves hoarse with superstitious terror, thinking that He was a ghost. Jesus called to them, It is I. Now Peter knew Jesus. He knew that He was the only Person in the whole universe who would tell him to do the impossible. That was the acid test of Christs identity. He challenged the apparition, saying, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water (Matthew 14:28). Jesus did challenge him Peter walked on the waves to Jesus. That was a manifestation of gift of faith. Jesus is the one who calls men and women to be greater than they thought themselves to be. If you are thinking of following Jesus, you should know that He is like that. He does not call you just to hold a lily or pick roses. The tongue-tied preach. Fishermen become fishers of men. Harlots become lovers of God. Cripples walk. That shows it is Jesus, the true God, who sends you to undertake what you would normally never consider. God bless you.
