Asking the right questions - no matter your circumstance - can open the right doors.

Peter was a seasoned fisherman. The sea was his turf, his bread and butter.
He knew when the fish were available for the taking.
Jesus changed his thinking with a law of love and faith in the supernatural.
Then came the day they were in a storm. Storms was Peter's thing. He knew from experience this present storm was a killer and they needed to get to land asap.
Suddenly they see something or was it someone waking on the water - they were more used to seeing someone drowning or asking for help.
Naturally, fear and experience crept in. Best to scream and cry in fear.
To make matters worse, the walking 'spirit' consoled them and asked them not to be afraid (yeah, right, in the midst of a storm and with a walking 'spirit'. Twice in a day can really alleviate your fears. Innit.
However in the cowering, screaming and shouting (these were grown and experienced fishermen) Peter asked a life changing question borne out of His inquisitiveness and affirmation in the divinity of Jesus.
To confirm it was Jesus as the spirit said. Peter asked. Bid me come on the water if it is you.
To this Jesus said a word....."COME'
Out of the ashes of fear, a storm, a walking spirit, men crying for help and holding on to dear life. Peter ALONE walked on the water. No one followed him, no one asked the same question, No one pulled Peter's robe to tag along.
Ask the right questions today. God is your father and his relationship has benefits and promises to be lived upon.
No matter your storm or circumstance, Jesus alone can make you walk on the water! All thats missing is that ingredient of faith Peter expressed in inquisitive word.
Keep your questions right before Jesus. He always has an answer that can transform your life
Matthew 14:22-33King James Version (KJV)
