Have you ever felt like your faith is stuck, like you’re just going through the motions without any real progress? We’ve all been there, but what if the breakthrough you’re longing for begins with one small step of faith?

In our "Breakthrough" series, we’ve been reminded that following Jesus isn’t about chasing dramatic experiences or seeking emotional highs. Instead, it’s about consistently seeking God, aligning our lives with His Word, and trusting Him in every aspect of our lives. One of the most powerful examples of this is found in Matthew 14, where Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water toward Jesus. It wasn’t because Peter was free of fear or doubt, but because he was willing to trust Jesus and obey His simple command to "come."

This story challenges us to examine our own lives. Are we creating enough space to hear from God? Do our daily actions truly reflect a deep dependence on Him? Peter’s breakthrough in faith didn’t occur because the storm calmed down or because he was completely confident—it happened because he chose to trust Jesus more than the security of the boat. He stepped out into the unknown, believing that Jesus would meet him there.

What’s holding you back from experiencing your own breakthrough in faith? Maybe it’s the comfort of your routine, the security of your financial situation, or the fear of what might happen if you take that leap of faith. Whatever it is, God might be calling you to step out today, just as Jesus called Peter.

Your breakthrough might be just one step away. Perhaps God is inviting you to spend more time in His Word, deepen your prayer life, or release control over an area of your life that you’ve been holding onto tightly. The first step might seem small, but it can lead to significant change. Don’t wait for the perfect moment or for all your doubts to disappear. Trust that Jesus will meet you in the midst of your uncertainty, just as He met Peter on the water.

Imagine what could happen if you decided to take that step of faith today. Not only could it transform your own life, but it could also inspire those around you to do the same. We often wait for God to move, but sometimes He’s waiting for us to take the first step. When we do, He meets us with His power, His presence, and His peace.

So, what’s your next step? I encourage you to take it today, trusting that Jesus is ready and waiting to meet you there.
