Our Scripture reading today is Matthew 14:26-29.
Verse 29, "And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus."
The disciples are in a boat on a sea that is anything but calm.  It is in the middle of the night and they see a "spirit" walking towards them on the water.  This is not a spirit, but it is Jesus Christ.  It would seem that Peter needed confirmation that it was Jesus.  (Verse 28) Jesus gives Peter the confirmation he was asking for in one word, "Come".  Whether Peter had small faith before he asked the question in verse 28 or not, he definitely has strong faith in verse 29.  Peter only needed one word from Jesus to get out of the boat and walk on water.  
A couple thousand years later, we hold in our hands the Word of God.  It has 66 books, 1,189 chapters and 31,102 verses.  It remains the best seller.  It is the ONLY book of it's kind.  God's Word is alive.  The source for every need we have in the Christian life can be found within it's pages.  God's Word builds and strengthens our faith.  If your faith is weak, open up your heart to God's Word and you will be revived.  God's Word provides the direction in life we so desperately need.  
Blessed Old Book by the Rochesters

This blessed old book that I hold in my hand,
It's true from beginning to end.
It's the solid foundation where I firmly stand,
Sin kept me from it, now it keeps me from sin.

It's a well of pure water when I'm thirsty and dry,
Bread when I'm hungry and worn.
When the battle is raging, it's my faithful sword,
My shelter from life's troubled storm.

It's a light to my pathway and a lamp to my feet,
When the world gets so dark you can't see.
And I've not made a change in one word that it says,                                                                                                           But it's sure made a change in me.

 

When I think what it cost just to hold in my hand,
It reminds me that I owe a great debt,
To all of the martyrs who'd gone to the stake,
And quote it with their dying breath.

Well its critics are many and believers are few,
But there's one thing I've found to be true.
If you find when you read it that there's something wrong,
Then there's something wrong with you.

This blessed old book that I hold in my hand,
It's true from beginning to end.
It's the solid foundation where I firmly stand,                                                                                                                        Sin kept me from it, now it keeps me from sin.
