Testing
Matthew 14:22-36

Series of events
Peter thinks he sees Jesus walking on the water. He cannot believe his eyes even though Jesus speaks to him.
Peter tests the situation. IF it is you THEN tell me to do...something really difficult, almost impossible.
Peter does it. Wow Lord it really is you and with your help I can do this.
A problem arises, in this case a wind.
Peter gets cold feet or should I say wet feet?
Peter yells for help.
Jesus reaches out his hand to help.
"Peter, what happened to your faith?"
All is calm but Peter is not walking on the water now.

Where am I? What impossible thing is Jesus encouraging me to do? How wet or cold are my feet?
