Summary

In this episode we discuss the importance of trusting the Lord, and we see how our emotions are indicators of our thoughts. It's our responsibility to meditate upon the Word of God, to ask God for wisdom, and to analyze our thoughts and see if they line up with the truth of God's Word. But we must also be dependent upon the Holy Spirit in this process. Apart from His power, we won't be able to do what we discuss in this episode (see 1 Corinthians 2:11-12).

0:00.0	Hey everybody and welcome back to I Just Want to talk about the Bible.
0:09.3	If this is your first time with us today, then let me just welcome you and say that I'm very glad that you're here.
0:13.9	My name is Christian Keeter and I live in the southeast of the United States of America
0:18.6	with my amazing, beautiful godly wife Lacey and our two
0:22.1	wonderful daughters, Felicity and Serenity. We're going to begin today by looking at a passage
0:29.3	of scripture that for many of you is a very, very familiar passage. It's a passage that
0:34.6	no doubt many of you have read many times over and possibly even heard many sermons on.
0:39.6	This is an account from the Bible that finds itself in children's Bibles and other things like that as well.
0:47.3	And before we actually get into what I'm talking about specifically, I do just want to say that the more familiar we are with something, the easier
0:55.6	it can be to kind of shut our minds off when we read it or when we hear it. It just happens
1:01.6	without us realizing it, but we just kind of fall into this thing where we just stop really thinking
1:07.2	about what it is that we're reading or what we're hearing. And without realizing it, we might start to think, oh, yeah, I know that already.
1:14.3	And so I just want to say, you know, there's the Lord, there's always more for the Lord to show
1:18.3	us.
1:18.6	We're never going to plumb the depths of everything in His Word.
1:23.7	And there's always fresh insights that the Holy Spirit can give us.
1:27.3	There's always new applications that he Holy Spirit can give us. There's always new
1:28.7	applications that he can show us for our lives. And so I just want us to come to this time with an
1:34.6	open heart, with open ears and just ask the Lord and say, Lord, please speak to me right now. Please speak to me.
1:41.7	Let me hear from you. Please show me what it is that you want me to see from this.
1:46.2	So the passage that we are talking about today is the account of Peter and Jesus whenever Jesus is walking on the water and then Peter comes out of the boat and walks with him on the water, at least briefly.
1:58.5	This is, like I said, it's a pretty familiar passage.
