Obedience in Confusion

In Matthew 14:22, the Apostle recalls a test of the disciples' faith. In verse 9, they received word that John the Baptist has been beheaded; verses 19-20, Jesus fed 5,000 men with only 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread. They didn't understand how either of these events happend, confused and reluctant, Jesus had to physically make them get into the boat to travel to the other side in verse 22. There will be times in our Christian walk where we will not want to carry out the tasks that God has commanded us to do; He may need to push us, just as He did for the disciples. Just as the disciples, we may be afraid and confused, but must be obedient and rest assured that if God sent us to a destination, He will ensure that we arrive.
