Day 29..."God of the Heart and Waters"

In all three texts today, God moves through the waters. Pharoah's hard heart leads to the first plague, He turns the water of the Nile into blood. Pharoah...hardhearted... is not impressed though his people lack for drinking water. Do we remember how precious water became during Ivan? In the 29th Psalm, the reference to water is more majestic..."The voice of the Lord is over the waters;the God of glory thunders,the Lord, over many waters." In the Matthew reading, Jesus walks over the stormy waters. Peter seeks to join in but the winds and waves cause him to take his eyes off Jesus...and this causes him to sink like a rock. In a metaphorical way, "walking on water" does require us to keep our eyes on Jesus. Peter's heart is open to try and there is something to be said about being willing to walk toward Jesus. Obviously, all three texts remind us God is not only the God of the heart but the supernatural.
