Many of us desire to know God’s will for our lives and what we should be doing with our
lives. There are opportunities, dreams and desires in our hearts, however, we lack the
faith to bring these desires to fruition.
Whatever the holdup is in our life that prevents us from moving into our purpose, it will
require us to take a step of faith. I am reminded, faith without works is dead
(paraphrasing James 2:26).
In 2 Corinthians 5:7, it says, for we walk by faith, not by sight. This means we live
according to what God’s word tells us and not by what we see or think. As believers, we
must believe in our hearts and with everything that God’s word is true, and he has our
best in mind for us.
I have made many mistakes by not having the faith to follow what God is telling me. I
lacked faith at one time to apply for a certain job, and it simply passed me by. I prayed
and prayed, and finally God said you simply needed to act on my word. It takes faith to
move, that action was simply applied to the job. I did not apply out of fear, and it cost me.
Are you willing to take the risk and make the move to walk in your purpose? In Matthew
14:22 Peter desired to walk on the water like Jesus, and he did. It took a lot of faith and
courage to step out of the boat. Are you willing to step out of the boat of fear and lack of
faith?
I implore you to stop self-doubt, fear, unbelief, and lack of confidence and step out.
Move forward in strength and confidence, knowing that God has his best for you. God
desires us to live by faith. Philippians 4:13 says, All things are possible with Him!
Make that decision today to hear from God and let the holy spirit lead you in your
decisions. Step out on faith and let the wonderful future that God has for you come
alive.
