We had a terrific day of services and activity at First Assembly yesterday. From two great services to a really neat nursing home service, ending the entire day with a powerful prayer time. I want to share a little bit about what the Lord gave me to share in our prayer time last night.
I began by talking about the will of God and understanding what the walk of faith is all about. As I was sharing, a thought came to me... When you are being led by the Spirit of God, walking by faith in His Will... you are never "going out on a limb". For whatever reason we have many times erroneously equated a step of faith to going out on a limb. When in fact those two ideas are not synonymous at all. When you take a step of faith and you are walking in the will of God, you could not be on a more firm foundation. I equated it to the "major" steps of faith our church had encountered to relocate and initiate all of the change that we have seen in the past four months. I told them that while the decisions were being made, it seemed like we were really "crawling out on a limb" only to look back now after it was all said and done and realize just how firm a foundation we were really on.
It was a great revelation from God, that should spur us on to continue to walk, boldly, in His perfect will. We are not climbing out on a limb when we pursue his will by faith... we are boldly walking on a firm foundation that will continue to lead to growth and life.
This week is another opportunity to walk boldly in His perfect will. Enjoy the walk!
