You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
I have a feeling that some of my readers have no even begun to live yet, and NOW is the time for you to stop "playing it safe" and start being bold and courageous.
It's easy to get down when we're constantly let down. It takes a powerful amount of trust to believe God has our best interests at heart when the world is crashing down. But remember, we can't ever learn how to live real faith if we never need real faith.
When we depend on our own power we will fail, but when we depend on God's power we will have victory. When you form a working relationship with the Creator, there's no limit to the things that the two of you, working together, can do.
Faith is first a decision, then an exercise in obedience, then a gift from God as it is multiplied. The obedience part is where a lot of us fail. When we pray over a certain situation in our lives and do not see immediate results, often times we just give up and stop praying, thinking God is not listening. We forget that our timing is not God's timing. God is not in a hurry, but we are.
Choosing faith over feeling is a choice we have the power to make. Faith leads the way to answered prayer.
Faith is a spiritual muscle that needs to be exercised in order to prevent atrophy, which makes our entire spiritual being weak.
When it comes to our health and fitness, we make the decision to start, but we eventually fail when we rely, only, on our willpower instead of God's power. If we do not see the results of our efforts immediately, we give up.
We must remain obedient and do what we can and trust God to do the rest.
Depend on it, God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supplies!
A lot of everyday life is spent surviving the "in between" time, en route between where we are and where God wants us to be. Without faith, we're only left with the daily grind.
Have the faith to move mountains!
Faithfully His,
Dalinda
