Many of the storms we face in life are orchestrated by God Himself. We often want to blame the devil when actually, Jesus is the Master of Storms...He does this because He's dealing with you and me cling to Him, trust and obey Him fully.
This requires faith and trust - something many of us sorely lack as we move upward in Christ. In that particular event with the Lord, Peter asked a very simple, but all too familiar question - "...Lord if it's You...," have you ever asked this of the Lord? I know many of us have, it's not a bad question, it's very honest - especially when we find ourselves in situations that are beyond our control or something we failed to anticipate.
If you notice, this wasn't the first storm these men have ever been in - the first time, Jesus was actually in the boat with them, but this time; He allowed them to fend for themselves...He does the exact same thing to you and to me. Rather than panic, complain, or backslide, we need to stop and ask..."Lord, if it is You, bid me come..."
It's time for you and I to step out in faith - for this is where the Lord is.
