I was in the shower at 6am. As usual, I turned the water on and waited for it to turn warm. Had enough of cold showers in the army. Who would have a cold shower when there is a warm one? It's 6am!
I waited a long time, standing away from the stream splashing onto the floor.
God, make the water warm!
Test, test.. still cold.
God, you answer prayers, right? God, you want to bless me, right? You heard me, right? etc etc etc
Oops, trying to guilt-trip God?
I decided to step in. COLD! I was shivering, but smiling to myself. The water was still cold, but I had stepped in. There might be reasons why the water was cold, but the point is that I stepped in with faith. James 2:26 "... faith without deeds is dead." Peter would never have walked on water if he didn't step out of the boat.
Some might think I'm silly. Maybe, but I also know that "without faith, it is impossible to please God ..." (Hebrews 11:6)
