Following that plan

Take one step

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going." – Hebrews 11:8

Abraham had it "made in the shade" when God asked him to leave it all behind. God gave Abraham an impossible dream. "You will be the father of a great nation," he said. And God promised Abraham this nation, Israel, would be blessed and would be a blessing to other nations.

It's easy to follow God when he asks us to do something we're familiar with. But when he calls us to step into uncharted territory where we feel inadequate or unprepared, that takes extreme faith. Abraham bravely stepped out in faith, and in that act of obedience became the model of extreme faith.

What is God calling you to do? All he asks is that you take one step for now. Don't let the comfort and security of your present position keep you from experiencing all God has for you. Step out in faith today!

Has God been talking to you recently about moving into uncharted territory where you feel inadequate or unprepared? Where is he calling you to go? What is he asking you to do? What is one thing you will do today to move, by faith, in that new direction?

Its hard to make choices about something you feel so inadiquate in doing. My personal experiences keeptelling me to make sure Im following God and to leave my own personal adjenda aside.. When we allow God's hand to guide us we will find our lives more fulfilled and

our hearts less anxouse.

Hoping this finds your day the best it can be..
