Wet feet

I’ve never walked on water, although I have gotten my feet wet a few times. As far as I can tell, Peter just had one chance to walk on water (Matt. 14:22-33). He made the most of it. There comes a time when you have to act, step out on faith, get your feet wet. Peter did. At one time Peter had wayward feet, but Andrew brought him to Jesus.
Then he had washed feet when Jesus knelt before him and washed his feet. He had wandering feet when he denied the Lord. He also had willing feet. “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace” (Rom 10:15). Here, Peter had wet feet because he was attempting to walk on the water (He actually made one step on water, which I one more than I’ve made). When the opportunity comes your way to exhibit water-walking faith you too have to act. Such an opportunity may well only knock once. Sometimes I get stuff in the mail that says, “For a limited time only.” That could be written over a lot of possibilities in life. Look for opportunities this week – opportunities that may come your way only once – and if you can’t walk on water, at least get your feet wet.
