Faith

Every step we take is a step of faith or a step of doubt. Every word we speak is a word of faith or a word of doubt. God is saying, “If you want to impress Me, then believe Me.” The Scriptures teach us that this life is all about faith because we live by faith, not by sight. Here’s how it works. God gives us a word; we hear that word; we believe what He tells us. Then our words and actions flow out of what we believe. I’m not doing to please God or get from God. I’m doing because I believe the word God spoke to me. If God tells me that every church will someday have life coaches and mentors and I’m going to be involved in making that happen, then I’m going to start telling others about what He said, and I’m going to start looking for the churches that want to get in on what God is up to. My actions prove what I believe, and my words are proof that I do believe. But here’s the key: God wants me to believe Him and not waver in my faith. There cannot be the slightest hint of doubt (James 1:6-8). Let’s take steps of faith today. Let’s speak words of faith today.
