Day 1 - A Minute on Faith

[This week we are continuing our regularly scheduled Bible reading in Hebrews and would love to see your SOUL Journal entries in the comments below. However, in the opening posts this week, Pastor Gary will be sharing a bit of his heart for us as we approach the end of our Daring Faith campaign.]

 Faith is about taking the first step.

What should you do when you know something is God’s will but you’re scared to death to do it? Do it anyway. Faith is about taking the first step.You may be thinking, “But I’m waiting for God to do something?” Has it ever occurred to you that God may be waiting on you?Throughout the Bible we see this important truth: The Holy Spirit releases his power the moment you take a step of faith. When God told Joshua to cross the Jordan River, it was at a flood stage. It was only after Joshua stepped into the river, that the waters stopped flowing and the whole nation of Israel crossed on dry ground.

God waits for you to act first. Move ahead, and do what God tells you to do regardless of your fears and feelings. In 2 Corinthians 5, the Bible says,“For our life is a matter of faith, not of sight”. This is how you cooperate with the Holy Spirit.

What is God asking you to do that you haven’t done yet?
