Who likes to be challenged or corrected? Probably most people do not. However, God often challenges us by using other people to tell us how wrong we were and so on. A good example would be in the gospel today. Through this woman’s challenge, Jesus soon realized that His mission on the earth was not only serving Jews but also non-Jews as well. Based on the readings of Kings 19:9-13; Romans 9:1-5; Matthew 14:22-33.

For a few minutes, Peter was successful walking on water. Soon, he sank and Jesus criticized him for having so little faith. Then he pulled Peter out of the water. Have we sunk many times because we have little faith in God? God promises to be always with us during difficult times, and like with Peter, Jesus will always pull us out when we cry to Him for help. Based on readings of 1 Kings 19:9 - 13; Romans 9:1-5; Matthew 14:22-33.
