Take A Leap of Faith!

“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭

Often times when taking a leap of faith it isn’t quite what we imagined, it might be easier than we thought, or maybe much harder than expected. One thing is for certain God is there in that leap. The leap will only lead you closer to the promise. You might not end up where you want to be once you take it, but you will end up one step closer to where you want to be. I took a huge leap of faith today, although I didn’t end up where I imagined or as good as I hoped I still made progress in the situation I was dealing with. Think of the story in the Bible where Peter walks on the water to get to Jesus. That is a grand example of a leap of faith. Notice in the story Peter did not run to Jesus, it was a slow process of getting to where he needed to be. He did take his eyes off Jesus and almost fell, but once he put his eyes back on Jesus he was stable again. When you take a leap of faith sometimes you fall, sometimes you don’t go far as you wanted, and sometimes you don’t get the outcome you desperately hoped for, but one thing is for certain, if you keep your eyes on Jesus you will never fall for long. Jesus is always waiting with open arms to catch you and help you. Today, take a leap of faith that you’re wanting to take, no matter the outcome God will use it for your good! It might not be as good or far as you had once hoped, but it will be worth it if only you keep your eyes on Him! Jesus is waiting for you just as He did with Peter, arms opened for you to come across the water to Him! Take that leap of faith and trust Jesus to catch you if you fall. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬ ‭ “But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!”” Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭ “Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”” Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭31‬ ‭ “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
