"A Second Wind"

He said, “Come ahead.” Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, “Master, save me!” Jesus didn’t hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, “Faint-heart, what got into you?” The two of them climbed into the boat, and the wind died down. The disciples in the boat, having watched the whole thing, worshiped Jesus, saying, “This is it! You are God’s Son for sure!”

Matthew 14:29‭-‬33 MSG

Here Peter is, feeling like a failure  on his way back to the boat after having attempted to walk on water.

He felt like a failure because he had to go back and face the other disciples (the people he had decided to leave behind)....ONLY things didn't work out as he had planned.

So, he goes back, not knowing what to expect. Is this just it? Will I get another chance to try or do I just accept failure as a part of my resume?

Peter truly didn't know.

But God knew....He knew, Peter would get a second chance to prove to himself that he's not a failure.

SOMEBODY: Like Peter, you just need  a second chance to prove to yourself you're not a failure.

Time out for impressing other people...Catch your second wind. God is releasing a second wind....And this, time you will be able to get yourself together and make it happen.

Peter got his second chance and out of obedience to the WORD, Jesus had given him....Though, he was tired, exhausted already from all the work he had put in, he tried again on the water to make something happen and this time, it paid off.

Luke 5:1-7 NIV

Beloved,  God is releasing a second wind over you...You will be able to make it happen this time. Going back, having to face the same people you thought you left behind does not make you a failure. What it does is buy you time UNTIL you relaunch, UNTIL you restock your brand, rewrite your book,  UNTIL you re-work your business strategy, UNTIL you're able to do successfully what you couldn't do before.

Food for thought.

Until Next Sunday.
