Faith....Faith is not complicated. Faith is easy for the smallest of children and each and every one of us live daily in faith. Faith that when I set my alarm it will wake me up at the time I set it for. Faith that when I get into my car I will end up where I set out to go. We daily put our faith in things, science, people, money, nature, food, building structures. Like I said faith is easy.
Faith can also be the most complicated thing in the whole world when partnered by fear. The "what if's" in life.
What if that wasn't what God called me to do? What if I make a mistake and fail.......What if I jump and you don't catch me? What if it's too hard and I quit? Faith stops dead when these questions begin.
Does that mean we foolishly jump at every whim to do something?
no.
But standing still afraid to walk a path without knowing every twist and turn, without knowing the end result will stop us from being able to do what God has called us to do.
Being afraid that it will be hard, uncomfortable, and scary are not reasons to say no. I have once heard it said.
"we need to learn to lean on God's understanding and not our reality"
I personally have faith that God creating the whole universe is truth in it's purest form.
I have faith in God just not in me......
Correction. I don't have faith in God in me.
I am constantly afraid that I am not doing what God wants. I won't make a move because I am afraid I will make a mistake and fail. That somehow God didn't already know my short comings.
That's when He told me.
"You are making mistakes and failing every day that I ask you to do something and you don't do it. And the reason you're ok with these mistakes is because no one knows about them and it's easy for you to ignore them."
Ouch.......
God always speaks directly to my heart in a way that changes me forever...........I always had a picture vision of how I see faith. I am on a tall building and below me is thick fog so deep i can't see more than a foot below me and I am supposed to jump. What i don't see beyond that fog is God's lovingly strong arms streched up to catch me and it isn't until I jump that I get to experience His embrace.
So I did it. I jumped out in faith and God caught me. It's scary, it's hard, it's uncomfortable, and it's one of the most beautiful, awesome, crazy, peaceful and joyful things that has ever happened to me. I'm headed towards alot of blind spots with the God who see's it all and will be the light to my feet.
