wow word

heard someting mind blowing yesterday.. the more i ponder on it, the more mind blowing it becomes.. don't know if you've ever heard of Nooma. it is a pastor of a realy big church, that makes these short little movies, that just make you sit back and think for days, about something that took him only 11 min or less to tell you.
well, for me it is day 2 of "dust", and i don't think it will be over soon. the crux of the message is that we have to be covered in the dust of our Rabi, Jesus. the deciples, of any Rabi, would walk behind him, and get covered by the dust of their Rabi.. see, already amazing. anyway, the storie goes on and he talks about Peter getting out of the boat, to walk to Jesus. now, all my life i beleived that Peter looked around him and saw the storm, took his eyes off Jesus and couldn't imagine that even God's own son could save him now.. well, in Nooma, he says it a bit differant. he talks of how Jesus was not the one sinking, it was Peter. so, whom did Peter loose faith in?
and the answer is himself!! he did not beleive he could be all his master meant for him to be.
isn't that so true. we often beleive God for big things, but deep down inside, we feel that we could never meet up to that standard and it is not really in us to do this thing.

so, we beleive in God, but do we beleive that God beleives in us?
