Faith does not grow in the soil of the familiar and safe.
Faith grows ‘out there’ where the wild things are.
Faith is smothered to death by your need for certainty and control.
Faith grows when the odds are stacked against you and somehow you still win.
Faith grows when you cannot imagine how you’ll ever do it and then remember that you are a child of God and that He’s your Abba Daddy who desires to do abundantly more in you, for you and through you than you even dare ask.
Faith grows when you are in a little bitty boat a great big storm clinging to faith in a great big GOD.
Faith grows when you don’t see any way out of the mess you are in and then God clears a wide clear light strewn path and makes a way where there was none before.
Faith grows when the challenge you face is too big for you to overcome and God steps in and simply rolls the stone away.
Faith grows when you quit trying to run the universe.
Faith grows when you quit living only by what you can measure, plan and control.
Faith grows when the only answer and your only prayer is God Himself.
Faith grows when you step into the unknown and take a God-sized risk on a God-sized dream.
Faith grows when you have enough faith to ‘go to a land that He will show you’ when He sends you on your way.
Faith grows when you 'cannot' and yet He 'can'!
Fear Not.
Praying that YOU step out into the great big unknown when God asks you to.
If you are facing a challenge that seems ‘impossible’ or ‘too big’ or ‘highly unlikely’ get excited because you are about to enter the Faith Zone. A zone where few dare to go and even fewer still will build a house ‘out there’ in the Faith Zone. But those who do are rewarded with the joys of seeing God do the ‘impossible’ and of seeing Him break through the walls of the improbable. And those who do are marked for God’s Hall of Fame of Faith.
It’s simply impossible to please God without faith.
True Christ followers walk by faith and not by sight.
Peace,
Jeff Fuson
