It happened.
They got into a boat and launched out to cross the lake because Jesus said let's do it. 
There was no questioning. 

Application

They trusted Him and didn't question Him when He said to cross the lake.  There was no question about the weather.  There was no question about the time of day.  He said "Let's cross over..." and they did.

I could take a lesson from this, such as: 

• When I get that impression to do or say something, I could just do or say it without asking for 17 clarifications.  
• I could just do or say it without asking why.  
• I could just do or say it without asking for the blueprints of what His plan is before take that step and what will follow it.  

Prayer

Jesus, I say I want to do what You ask me to do.  I say I trust You.  But my true wants are seen in action, aren't they? Remind me of my heart's desire to make my desires match Yours for me.

Personal note:  So much time has gone by between my notes and then starting to type this and finally finishing the typing of it.  In advance, I thank you for your grace through the process of my attempt at blogging study notes.  I hope to get better at this.  I will be making changes in the way I lay out my notes.  Thank you for your patience.  :)
