Faith

Have you ever felt directed to go in one direction or the other, but you hesitated? But what if God was directing you? The important thing is your faith to make that move believing that He has got you.

The bible has multiple reports of faith in God, but here are two. 1. God directed Abraham to sacrifice his son. Although Abraham did not know the outcome, he chose to be obedient believing that God had the masterplan. In the end God provided a ram instead so Abraham did not have to slay his son. 2. When Moses was directed to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, he did not know how they would survive in the wilderness with the Egyptians in pursuit to kill them. But he still told the Israelites that they will see God’s salvation and will not be bothered by the Egyptians anymore. In the end, God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross then unparted it while the Egyptians were still there to drown them.

Sometimes our trials are the means God uses to remind us that He is sovereign – not us, not our predicament, not our opposition.

And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will chase after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.

(NASB, Exodus 14:4)

What do you feel directed to do but seem overwhelmed with uncertainty about? Do you feel directed to launch your own business, not knowing how you are going to get clients? Or do you feel directed to approach a difficult client not knowing if they will hear how, you can add value to lives? Or do you feel directed to undertake a new habit not knowing if you will have the strength to follow through? Or it may be something else. Have faith that if God is directing you that He has got you.
