I think I'm getting better at taking more risks and getting out of the boat more often.<BR/><BR/>Welcome back to Montgomery, by the way! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128797179318912290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628617.post-90046514532153171502007-11-07T22:05:00.000-06:002007-11-07T22:05:00.000-06:00Peter walked on water AND went swimming.

Jesus acknowledged Peter's "little faith," but didn't even acknowledge the other guys...at all. I would much rather follow the way of Peter.<BR/><BR/>Many times in trying so desperately to discover God's will and what he wants us to do in, we make an idol of the quest, rather than trusting in God alone.John Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168374907936231255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628617.post-11733701777832955402007-11-06T11:17:00.000-06:002007-11-06T11:17:00.000-06:00Good point.

The beauty of God is that black becomes white when he turns our wrong decisions into a good thing for him. We just have to be willing to trust and obey.Donna Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591270068580850954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628617.post-55824907519955179232007-11-06T08:00:00.000-06:002007-11-06T08:00:00.000-06:00I think that all too often we wait for a big sign ...I think that all too often we wait for a big sign from God before we make a decision. How soon we forget that God created us free to make our own decisions and what we think are sings are just coincidences that happen. <BR/><BR/>Truly God is all powerful and all things do work for good for them who serve Him. And He does have a plan for us. That means that even if your decision appears wrong, something good can come from that. We need to spend our time making what looks like a wrong decision into a right one. With God's help that is possible.<BR/><BR/>We also must remember that Satan can masquarade as the creator of light. He can make good things seem like the right choice when in reality it's not. It's hard to know what is right or wrong in each situation, but with prayer and God's help all choices can work out in His time. Even if it's contrary to God's Word, He can forgive and bring good from it. Wow, what a wonderful God we serve!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445049164850471627noreply@blogger.com
