The dark waters
There's a man clothed in white, radiating a pure white glow, walking through a street. But then it becomes apparent that it's not a street after all. It's a lake. He is walking on these dark waters in pitch black surroundings.
The white light speaks of the peace of God. We often think of walking on water as some crazy, exciting, jump-around-and-dance act. But the truth is that Peter was operating in complete peace when he steppd out of the boat. He asked 'If it is you Lord, then command me to come out to you'. He knew that if it was Jesus, he could trust Him completely that he wouldn't sink. It was an act born of complete security in Jesus, of utter peace.
This was such an act of trust, that it didn't even matter that he couldn't see where he was going.
'We walk by faith, not by sight.'

good word man, good word. yeah it's funny how sometimes we spend so much of our lives looking forward to the big revival or that big event (ie getting married or finishing school) that we dont realize that God's plan for our lives involves every moment of every day and that revival is a culmination of the things God is doing right now. be at peace and trust that He is leading us in the way that He desires us to go.
