In the East Taihang Mountains Area, China, there is a glass bridge that is suspended 1180 meters, or 3,871 feet, above a valley and 266 meters, or 873 feet, long. When you walk across, it simulates cracking complete with the noises and seeming splitting floor. Some visitors can be seen scampering away or dropping to their knees thinking they were about to lose their footing. Soon they realize it is part of the masterful trickery of the designers.

Like those visitors we want to trust that our path is sound. It may be our path to health, wealth, or restoration, in any area of life. But how have we verified our steps are secured? Where does our trust lie anyway?

In Matthew 14, Jesus’ disciples were in a boat on a lake that was being bombarded by waves because of heavy winds (verse 24). Jesus walked on the water toward the disciples and even had Peter walk on the water too (verses 25, 29). But it was after Jesus and Peter got in the boat that the winds subsided (verse 31). Jesus may not necessarily take you out of your windy challenge but can grant you the capacity to go through it.

With trust in and focus on Jesus, Peter made it through the stormy winds without sinking. Jesus’ word to Peter, “Come”, enabled Peter to walk with secure footing on water (verse 29) which is not meant for walking on. Said another way, with properly placed trust, focus and faith, in Jesus, you can do what seems impossible.

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will advise you with my eye on you.

(NASB, Psalm 32:8)
