Attempt?

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

“Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” ~ Matthew 14:28-30 NIV

Today's Old Lazy Dog GDA is really just a question once proposed by Robert Schuller:
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?"

Initially, I was quick to respond. But then, as I deliberated and really thought through it, my mind and heart were pricked...
Sometimes... We have to be like Peter and step out of the boat, eyes solely focused on Christ, and walk on water.

It's only when we take our eyes off of Him and begin to focus on our circumstances that we find ourselves thrashing about in the water.

All too often we allow others to steal our dreams, squash our passion, diminish our purpose... whether in jealousy, in ignorance or in untruth...

You know your gifts. You know your strengths (and your weaknesses).

You know God has a plan.

So I'll ask it again...

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?"

Keep the Faith... Carpe Diem

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me ~ Philippians 4:13
