Dear Friend,

When Peter saw Jesus walking toward him on the water, he was witnessing a miracle. But miracles don’t just happen.

Let’s look at what Peter said:

²⁸  And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
²⁹  So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
Matthew 14:28,29 (NKJV)

We see in this scripture that Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came to Jesus. But suppose he had just kept standing there? What if Peter stood there and just waited for Jesus in some mysterious way to lift him over the rail and float him across the water? Think about that. If Peter had waited on Jesus to do it all, he never would have experienced a miracle.

My point is this. You may be waiting on Jesus for a miracle in your circumstances—and Jesus is waiting on you to take the first step.

The Lord says, “Come!”
