God has a reason

Now go!

”Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you...Leave this place and go up to the land I promised... Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey...”

Exodus 32:34, 33:1-3

Stop living in fear.  Just get up, get going, move forward, and take the steps that you feel God has placed in your heart.  Don’t quit, don’t give up, and don’t worry.  God has promised to take you to lands flowing with milk and honey, but you must believe, you must trust, and you must take some bold steps.  

You can do this! God is with you and he will not fail you - EVER!!

Nothing to fear

"...Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch... 

Don't be afraid..."

Luke 5:4, 10 NIV

When you are following Jesus and taking steps to follow the promptings he places on your heart, then no matter how big the storm, you can stay in peace knowing that there is nothing to fear, he has your back and he will not fail you - not now, not ever!!

If you don't stand in faith

“If you don’t take your stand in faith, you won’t have a leg to stand on.” Isaiah 7:9

When you take big, bold steps of faith, God will always be there to keep you from falling.  However, if you do take a big, bold step of faith and you do fall, it’s God’s way of giving you a learning experience you’ll never ever regret learning from.

You are blessed ~ Believe it, live it, embrace it!

If you are wise...

"So bow to him in deep reverence, one and all!

If you're wise, you'll most certainly worship him."

Job 37:24

The first, and most important, steps to wisdom is to believe in God, worship God, honor God, love God and trust God.  Without these steps, you will never have the wisdom it takes to live in blessing, love, prosperity, health, joy, and peace; without these steps, you will never to really be able to live at all.

Step out into the deep waters

"... Put out into the deep [water], and lower your nets for a haul." Luke 5:4 AMP

If you feel a call on your life, and you know there is more for you then what you are accustomed, then go for it.  Grab hold of God, and take a leap - both feet, no holds barred -  of faith.  God won't put anything on your heart that you cannot accomplish, or see come to pass.  If He's placed it on your heart, and there is opportunity, then go for it.  

Now, some of you, including myself, may wonder how you will know if it's God giving you the opportunity, desire, or thought?  Well, from what I have learned from God's word and my own life, a few things will come into play.  First and probably foremost, the desire and a sense of confidence is placed on your heart that you normally don't feel; and/or, the opportunity will almost seam unbelievable, yet it is there for you to take; and/or God, will give you hints that you know are in relation to your decision; plus, you will not feel confused about what step take, even if you a bit nervous to take it; and, most of all you will have a peace about taking it, although your knees tremble at the thought.

It is so important to keep our relationship with God first in our lives.  He has amazing plans, possibilities, opportunities, and ventures for each of us, however, if we lose sight of Him, then we won't have the knowledge, and blessing to take take the bold steps that are waiting out there for us to take.  Therefore, remember: God first! And, from there, the possibilities, blessing, and miracles of this life our endless, and they all have your name written, by God, all over them.

Only God knows what is good for you

“For who [limited to human wisdom] knows what is good for man in his life…” Ecclesiastes 6:12

We (man) do not know what is good for us, that is why we have Jesus, and why we must have faith – strong faith.  Steps of faith are the only way to find out what is good for us!!  If there is something pressing on your heart, step UP – step IN – FIND out!  Yes, it will be uncomfortable, scary, intimidating, and overwhelming, but with one foot in front of the other, you can do it – God is holding you every step of the way and no matter what the turnout, I guarantee that you will be more knowledgeable, more blessed, more confident, and more faithful than you were ever before.

So, take those big steps of faith and know that whatever the end result, you did it – and for that you can be very proud of yourself!!
