Have you ever thought, how did I have the nerve to do that? I have many times but in reflection God has shown me just how I did that! When God put Hope in Him ministry on my heart I knew I could not run. I doubted myself but God protected me from that. I wasn't using my mind, I was walking in faith. I was walking in faith of things not seen. I was trying to be obedient and trusting God.
I took a faith filled action. I felt like I was jumping out of an airplane without a parachute but that is what faith is. I tend to want God to give me what I need ahead of time so I know He hasn't forgotten or that He will do His part so I can be more comfortable. One day I felt Him tell me He will give me what I need WHEN I need it. The Red Sea didn't part ahead of time - it parted when they put their feet in. That is when they needed it.
Philippians 4: 19, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." If God would have taken all of my concerns then I would not have needed Him. I would have thought I was doing everything on my own. But I had to take a faith filled action trusting Him with every step. It always comes back to trust! Proverbs 3: 5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Push past your fears today and step out in faith where God will nudge you forward! Take a leap of faith!
