Topic: God’s Options Or Ours?

Matthew 14:27-28. ‘But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer, it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou bid me come unto thee on the water.’

Matthew 14:22-33

It is important to analyze Peter’s statement. Peter was overwhelmed when he saw Jesus walking on the water, and he wanted to do the same. While there is really nothing wrong with his desire, the request he put before Jesus was totally wrong. He didn’t ask the Lord if he wanted him to walk on the water, or if his faith was up to it. Instead he said, ‘If it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.’ What was Jesus going to say, ‘It isn’t me. Don’t come.’?

There are no other examples of someone walking on water in the Word of God. Jesus had a definite reason for walking on the water; however, Peter simply wanted to see if he could do it. God will permit us to do things that are not His perfect will for us.

Many times we hinder our own prayers by the way we ask things of God. We say, ‘Do you want me to do (a) or (b)?’ The Lord may not want us to do either one. We should offer Him a third choice – (c) none of the above. We should trust God’s wisdom and even allow Him to select the options.
