God likes to conceal matters. But He reveals those secrets to those who fear Him (see Psalm 25:9). However, for you to fear God, you must be close to Him.

As long as the disciples didn’t hear from Jesus that it was Him walking on the seas, they were troubled. So if you have problems discerning the works of Jesus in your life, focus on hearing God correctly. It’ll be solved.
Most people, including some Christians, are fast detectors of other people’s errors, but not themselves. Sometimes, we believers in Christ forget that there’s a charge on us in the Word to watch our lives closely (1 Timothy 4:16).
