DAILY?READINGS: Deut. 13-14:21; Song of Sol. 3:6-5:1; Luke 10:1-24
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. Matthew 14:28
From this experience in the life of Peter we learn that if we invite the Lord to test our faith, as Peter did, we must be prepared to face the consequences, and to trust Him in the test that comes along. It is easy to have strong faith when we are in the ship. But, even if, like Peter, we embark on a certain course with over-confident bravado, and discover that our faith is not as robust as we thought, in His love, He is always ready to answer that urgent prayer—”Lord, save me” (Matt. 14:30). —W.

I am trusting Thee Lord Jesus, never let me fall,
I am trusting Thee forever, and for all.
