*UNDERSTANDING THE ACTS AND WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST (169)*
But when Peter saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. (Matthew 14:30-32).
It is no new thing for Christ's disciples to meet with storms in the way of duty, but He thereby shows Himself with the more grace to them and for them. He can take what way He please to save His people. But even appearances of deliverance sometimes occasion trouble and perplexity to God's people, from mistakes about Christ. Nothing ought to make you afraid. Peter walked upon water, not for diversion or boast of it, but to go to Jesus; and in that he was thus wonderfully borne up. Special supports are promised, and are to be expected, but only in genuine spiritual pursuits; nor can we ever come to Jesus and succeed, unless we are upheld by His power.
Christ bade Peter come, not only that he might walk upon the water, and so know his Lord's power, but that he might know his own weakness. And the Lord often let's His servants have their choice, but to humble and prove them, and to show the greatness of His power and grace. When we look off from Christ, and look at the greatness of opposing difficulties, we shall begin to fall; but when we call to Him, He will stretch out His arm, and save us. The weakness of faith, and the prevailing of our doubts, displease our Lord Jesus, for there is no good reason why Christ's disciples should be of a doubtful mind. Even in a stormy day He is to them a very present help, for He does not only have absolute authority over the visible nature, but also the invisible.
