HE walked on Water!!!

I find it interesting that when the disciples of Jesus first saw him walking on water they were 'troubled' even fearful that He was a spirit of some kind. Peter responded to the Lords voice by commanding Him to show Himself and prove it was Him. You would think that Peter would know his Masters voice. When invited to walk on the water Peter took those first few steps through faith, then partway to the Savior he bagan to sink fearing for his life. Ironic that later on Peter would lack faith and deny Christ 3 times before gaining the faith to continue on. When he began to sink he cried out and reached for the Saviors hand, only to be pulled up and rebuked fo rhis lack of faith. Jesus then asks "wherefore didst thou doubt?" when did you doubt? why did you doubt. Peter knowing all that Jesus was capable of doubted him in a crucial learning moment. If we do as is commanded in D&C 88:67 and keep an eye single to the glory of God then we will never lose faith and we will continue forever to be with Him and even gain exaltation in His sight. It is a simple request and commandment, keep an eye single to teh glory of God. It is a daily choice to choose to be of the world or of God. Each day we make those choices that draw us closer or farther away from Him and it is through those choices we aresaved or thrust down to hell. hate to be so outspoken but there it is!!
