In our text, we realized that Peter only needed to hear Christ say “Come” and immediately he recognized that it was Christ’s voice, he stepped out on the waters on the basis of Christ’s word, not withstanding the contrary wind (Matt. 14:28, 29).

Contrary circumstances are passed through or even changed through faith (Rom. 4:17-21; Heb. 11:23, 29, 30, 32-35).
