Thoughts during Recovery

Good morning Glories,

I pray everyone is doing well and seeking the face of our God ...one
of the blessings of the fires is that you cannot afford to not seek
His face continually.

I'm doing well, still have 2 drains in and hopefully they will come
out tomorrow. The difficulty with the drains is that it is
uncomfortable to sleep. Usually I will get up between 3-4am, need to
get up and move around.
The other morning I was reading about when Peter walked on water.
Mt. 14 :25...And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them...
I noticed in my margins that the fourth watch was between 3-6 AM!!!!
I couldn't help but notice the scripture "He came to them". What an
attitude adjuster that was. Before I was becoming irritated that I
couldn't sleep. Here Jesus was telling me what a time of fellowship
could we have between 3-6 am if my heart wanted to meet with Him. As I
continued to read, vs. 28 and Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if
it is You, command me to come to You on the water"

Why did Peter ask this? Did he know Jesus so well that he knew what
would happen? I think it was his DESIRE to know Jesus so well that
all he knew was that he wanted to be where Jesus was, even on the
water. How often we want the comfort of knowing the how's and why's
before we will say "Bid me come". In God's plan, He wants us to step
out leaving the how's and why's up to Him. If in your heart if your
saying something like; Lord, I want to know you
Lord, grow my faith
Lord, show me yourself
Then your really saying, Lord, bid me come!
God will answer your heart's desire. If it comes in a dark, storm do
not be afraid. Walking on water is right in front of you!! As we
step out and walk on water Oh how we will experience God. Our Lord,
maker of the universe reaching down to lift us up!!! It will change
our lives forever, we will be conformed more into the image of His Son.

When we walk on water it is such an invitation to worship, not
just for ourselves but for the Body of Christ as a whole.
vs. 33 "and those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying "You are
certainly God's Son!"

I have witnessed this as the Lord of Hosts has rallied His saints to
come on the battlefield with me, saints some I have never met, we have
worshiped God has He has held me and His Church who have gone through
the fire!
Glory to God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords who loves us!!!

I pray this will be an encouragement to you as it is me, preparing my
heart for what lies ahead...may we make much of His Name as we say,
"Bid me come, Lord"!!

love to all, sherri
