Stepping Out On Faith

We hear it all the time from our friends about their plans. Our friends, family members, coworkers, and of course ourselves. We make plans for everything to always ensure when the time is right. Wives plan their pregnancies, while men plan their big financial purchases. Life sometimes pass us by because we're still planning or working out our plan, or waiting on that sign. We're waiting on that promotion to go for that house, we're waiting on less hours at work in order to go back to school. What happens if these things or opportunities don't ever come? Do we keep waiting? Do we direct our minds to keep hope on that sign or financial upper level, or do we pray about it, believe God heard it, and step out on faith? It reminds me of the story in the bible when the man who was lost out at sea, prayed and asked God to save him. However whenever a big boat would pass him by and ask if he needed help he would tell them no because God is on his way. What he did not know is that God sent those boats. Sometimes God is ready to help and willing to give, but if we don't do our part and step out on faith the things we want most will pass us by.

As I step my foot onto the hope of not knowing, my balance is steady. Jesus has secured my stumble, and made it solid. My sight hears far, and my road is safe. And yet its dark, my hand is held. God has me in his veil.
