Matthew 14:29<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>So He said, \u2018<\/em>Come.\u2019\u00a0<\/em>And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Before we get too critical of Peter, remember that he is the only one that actually walked on the water at all. Yes, he got his eyes off of the Lord and began to sink, but he actually walked on the water for a few steps.<\/p>\n

The fourth watch of the night is the darkest, but also the watch that is just before dawn.\u00a0 For those of us who have worked the “graveyard shift,” it is the most boring, but also the most delightful, when you see the first streaks of dawn, the rim of gold on the eastern horizon, and the burst of light when the sun begins to rise.<\/p>\n

Many of you have written to share with me the fears and uncertainties you have been facing.\u00a0 Others of you may be going through these same dark hours of the night watch of your life, but have not felt led to write to me about them.\u00a0 Today’s Daily-E-Votional is for all who are now — have been — or will be going through the darkest watch of the night in your life!<\/p>\n

When you are laboring in the darkest watch of your personal night, you may feel stark terror.\u00a0 You may see things in the dark that terrify you.\u00a0 But here is the exciting reality of it all: It is Jesus who is there in the darkness, ready to keep you from sinking.\u00a0 Your only problem, I repeat, your only problem, is looking at the water instead of the Master who is walking on the water.\u00a0 When we focus our attention on Him, He will keep us from falling!<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts!\u00a0\u00a0Walk with God today and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
