So I found myself today in a usual predicament.I wont be to specific,but it was financial.An area God has been working on me about.With the church in transition,and Gods tremendous grace and blessing in my life i know i need to step up my game,and tithe more. I told God (afraid to make promises for fear of failure),that i would start tithing with this new job.I have given more money back to the Lord,but no where near the ten percent guidelines.First set forth by Abraham in Genesis So Im in this predicament again and know i should not be,being blessed as i am.The old feelings of stress,regret,failure start to surface,and i got down on my knees at work,and started to pray. Lord please help me,Im in the same old boat, It hit me like a rock The Lord said immediately .Get out of the boat.. Matthew chapter 14 28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” command me to come Lord.I heard it plain as day. 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous,[b] he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” Save me Lord,Help me. Notice when he took His eye off Jesus he began to sink. Get out of the boat means to look to the Lord. It means put your faith in Jesus. I keep saying when i get caught up Ill Render unto You what is Yours,Lord. That is putting faith in money,me,the job,Everything but Him,and yet in my abundance i struggle.Jesus said get out of the boat. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. I understand Jesus.I know it is time to get out of the boat,oh me of little faith.Starting today Im stepping out of the boat Lord,and doing what i know i should have been doing the whole time,what i called myself doing at times,what i need to truly do for real this time. Im stepping out of the boat,and keeping my eye,on and my faith in You Lord.
