I’m a little reluctant to argue against the Holy Scriptures
but it seems to me a little faith goes a long way if it gets you to step out of a perfectly
good boat in a storm. On the other hand what’s a little wind, even a strong one,
when you are already walking on water? Maybe that’s the point. A little faith can
get you out of the boat but it can’t keep you from sinking. Peter took his eyes
off Jesus and suddenly the “Rock” was sinking like a stone. It is true for us
as well when after a little while of enduring the storms of life, sorrow, pain, or loss, the winds and waves of unrelenting grief lead us to doubt the
goodness and the grace of God and we sink into the depths of despair. But in
those times faith can cause one to cry out “Lord, save me!” so even when we are
sinking a little faith goes a long way.
