Love you all, praying for you!
Isn't it interesting how distance influences perspective, things look different from a distance, the closer you get however, the view changes. Your perspective changes. Faith is an interesting concept, and an vital requirement to fulfill the purpose that God created you for. Hebrews 11:6 – And without without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Faith is a journey – not just a feeling. Faith requires a step, an action that follows the belief. Faith is proven by a step in it. Faith – is the firm belief that something has or will happen, something not seen, or not seen yet. Faith is taking a step when God tells you – even if the end is unclear or uncertain. What is certain is the One who told you to take the step. When you step in faith your perspective changes – because as you get closer - what was unseen becomes seen, and the closer your location the greater the perspective on your destination. Some pictures make things look like one thing – but it’s not real. Like a person walking on the sun. They aren’t really, it’s just from this distance behind them, the distance between them and the sun looks non-existent – when there are really still 93 million miles separating them. From here, things look one way, from there – more understanding is gained. Genesis 12:1 – The LORD had said to Abraham, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” He didn’t know where he would go – and he would never know – if he didn’t go. God said go to a land I will show you. God reveals things in steps. Obedience happens in steps. You first have to start in order to arrive. And while we are far more comfortable in knowing the end, the best things are bigger than we could know anyway. It might be a location, or it might be an action – you don’t have to move to another city – to obey the LORD – sometimes He wants you to obey right where you are. Whatever he tells you to do, you often won’t know what it will look like. But each step of obedience, brings new perspective of your destination, what God is leading you to. You will see the next step from there – just not from here… So what is God telling you to do? Will you take the first step? Love you all, dad
