When the storms come....

In Matt ch12-15, there are many parables and examples of Jesus' teachings. I want to focus on one today-ch14vv25-36. Jesus' disciples had put out on the Sea of Galilee without him. A storm came up and they were being tossed about. Jesus came to them walking on the water. They were scared. Peter called out for Jesus to call him to come. He stepped out in faith on the water, but was quickly overcome with the situation and the storm, and he began to sink. Jesus immediately reached out and saved him. My point is not to retell the story, but to focus on Peter. He had zest for Jesus. He was willing to risk to follow. But he became distracted. Do we allow our lives to distract us from following? When weather/life is good, we obey...but when storms come, where are we?
