Breaking this down to a simplistic form, if your walking and your feet are not aligned with the walkway, you may bump into a door, step off a cliff, fall into a pond, well you get the gist. We use our eyes and other sensory coordinations to maneuver us as we take steps, walk, or run. And so it is with the word of God, one must use visual aids, adjust our composure, and coordinate our steps in conjunction with the the parameters that He’s showing us. Not a difficult task if we stay with it. Let’s stay in proper alignment with our Loving God’s word, so that we can walk on water if we just have to. Jesus needs us to follow His example.
Mark 14:22-27
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I’m very glad to see such wonderful info being shared freely out there.
