[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":4},["ShallowReactive",2],{"reading-0623":3},"JUNE 23\r\nWhen Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;\r\nand beginning to sink he cried, saying, Lord, save me (Matt. 14.29,30).\r\nPeter had a little faith in the midst of his doubts, says Bunyan;\r\nand so with crying and coming he was brought to Christ. But here\r\nyou see that sight was a hindrance; the waves were none of his\r\nbusiness when once he had set out; all Peter had any concern with, was the pathway of light that came gleaming across the darkness\r\nfrom where Christ stood. If it was tenfold Egypt beyond that, Peter had no call to look and see.\r\nWhen the Lord shall call to you over the waters, \"Come,\" step gladly forth. Look not for a moment away from Him.\r\nNot by measuring the waves can you prevail; not by gauging the wind will you grow strong; to scan the danger may be to fall before it\r\nto pause at the difficulties, is to have them break above your\r\nhead. Lift up your eyes unto the hills, and go forward-there is no other way.\r\nDost thou fear to launch away?\r\nFaith lets go to swim!\r\nNever will He let thee go;\r\n'Tis by trusting thou shalt know Fellowship with Him.",1783499793145]
