Why Did You Doubt?

Happy Monday!


So I'm watching hockey, and I remember how James Reimer has a bible verse reference on the back of his helmet, but I forgot what it was. So I google it and it says "Matt 14:31" with a picture of Jesus walking on water underneath. [Side note: I think it's SO COOL how Reims is so out there with his faith!] So I then googled "Matthew 14:31" [I love google, don't you?] and I get the verse. I had been totally stumped on what to share with you guys today, and finally I was looking through the songs on my iPod and found today's song, and I remembered Reim's helmet... And this week's Monday Mania was created in my head. :)

Today's song is "Walk on the Water" by Britt Nicole. It's a really encouraging song and I absolutely love it! A great reminder: "Your faith is all it takes and you can walk on the water too!"

And the verse. I love it. I feel like Jesus needs to ask me that sometimes... "You of little faith... Why did you doubt?!"

Both the verse and the song remind me: Faith - faith as small as a mustard seed - can move mountains, can let humans walk on water. Faith is all it takes.



You look around and staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder
What if i'm overtaken
What if i never make it
What if no one's there
Will you hear my prayer?
When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that he won't let you go

So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too

So get out and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste, don't wait
And don't you turn around, and miss out on
Everything you were made for
I know you're not sure
So you play it safe, you try to run away
If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won't let you go

So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too

Step out, even when it's storming
Step out, even when you're broken
Step out, even when your heart is telling you,
telling you to give up
Step out, when your hope is stolen
Step out, you can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
So what are waiting, what are you waiting for

So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water,
walk on the water too

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "Why did you doubt?"
