When Peter walked on the water, he didn't have to concern himself with
technique, physics, or special knowledge about what Jesus called him to do. He only had to trust Jesus.
Peter doubted Jesus, and he sank.
When we don't see God's miracles and power in our lives and work, it is because we doubt Jesus. When we feel we have to earn a graduate degree in order to tell people about Jesus, or to bring his grace, mercy, deliverance and healing power into their lives, we doubt him. When we feel that the spiritual gifts Jesus gave to his disciples and the early church are not for us, or that we are not qualified to do what Jesus did on earth, and wants to do through us now, we doubt him.
We sink, often daily, because even though we believe in Jesus and know he is right beside us, we don't trust him.
