Why did you Doubt

Peter had attempted to walk on water. Jesus stretched out his hand to catch him. So, Jesus said in Matthew 14:31-33, “‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.” Peter did a good thing, stepping out on faith. He did not continue in faith. This is not the devil’s temptation, a foolish leap from the temple mount (Matthew 4:5-7). That would be wrong. Stepping out of the boat and walking on water begins with a prayer request, followed by an invitation from Jesus to “Come.” Then, like the disciples we cry, “Truly You are the Son of God.”
