Taking the Next Step of Faith
Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality–faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. (Hebrews 11:1, AMP)
This last week, I was struck by the concept of faith over and over again. I took a step of faith in developing a team for a new book that will be completely designed for women in the sex traffic industry. My experience and knowledge of this industry is very limited, yet God wants me to be a part of creating something specifically designed for this rapidly growing dark spot in our world.
I took the step of faith not knowing what the plan is or how this book will come together. You see, I’m a planner. I like to think through things before I do them. That can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing. God wants me to be obedient to Him when He says, “Move forward.” Sometimes I need to lay logic down and trust Him with the details. This is one of those times.
As I have moved forward in faith with this, I have watched God provide the testimonies for this project. It’s astounding. God is so good! He takes our small steps of faith and does something huge with them. One step, that’s all it takes.
I took another small step of faith in creating my first mommy post. I have shared it below. Please share it with moms who need encouragement. I don’t have all the answers, in fact I have a long ways to go. But with this step of faith I pray that I can encourage moms to thrive in the position God has entrusted them with.
A third step of faith I took this last week is saying yes to an online book study. I have been hesitant to do it because I want to do it well and I can’t completely figure it out yet. But again, God doesn’t want me to have it figured out. He just wants me to trust Him and move forward.
So in the Fall, we will do a book study on my book Victorious Mindset. If you know someone who is struggling to keep a healthy mindset and doesn’t know how to be victorious in Christ, please share this with them. My hope is to equip and encourage people to fix their minds on Christ, the author and perfecter of our faith. We will take it day by day and learn how to be victorious in Jesus! I hope you will join us for this adventure. Click here to sign up for the book study!
What is God asking you to do? Is it time to take the next step in faith? Remember, God doesn’t need you to have it all figured out… He needs you to trust Him! If God has given you peace about moving forward, just take the step in obedience to Him. The details are in His hands and He will use you to do something incredible if you let Him.
Dear Father God, Please help me to be quicker in my responses to what you lay on my heart. Where fear of failure lies, may I acknowledge that it is only you who can bring out anything good in me. May I activate my faith and may my fears be diminished as I trust in You and go where you lead!
