Well, the great question of the hour is always—is it safe to go with Jesus when He invites us to go outside our comfort zone. I am talking about major new challenges in the big areas of our life. When He is outside our comfort zone, challenging us in a new area, is it really safe to leave the comfort zone and go join Him? Of course we know the answer is yes. But it is harder to do than to say. You know the story of Jesus walking on the water. He went to His disciples who were in the boat and invited Peter to come out of the boat and walk on water with Him, and that is a great story because it worked. Well, let’s say it this way: it is a great story because it eventually worked. That is, Peter gulped a little water for a few steps there. I mean he sank, if you remember the story. He got out of the boat and sank because he got his eyes off the Lord, and he gulped, had to tread a little water, get a little lake water in there, whatever. Then it did eventually work, when the Lord recovered him and he thought, “Oh boy, that was intense.” So is it safer to be on the water with Jesus? Or is it safer to be in the boat without Jesus? Now we know it is safer on the water, but our tendency is to stay in the boar. He says, “Climb out of the boat and walk on the water with Me.”
