There's Something You Should Know Before you Decide

Proceed in faith, not fear.

Over the last few months, you’ve learned things about God’s faithfulness that you could not have otherwise learned. You’ve had to trust him in new ways, but you’re not being asked to do something you haven’t already done before.

If you think about it, you’ve had to make a lot of small choices to trust God, yourself, others, the powers that be... just to survive the last few months. You haven’t had a lot of the information you want, to proceed in your business, your leadership, your ministry etc.

Yet, you took a leap of faith.

And for that you should be applauded.

Hey, it takes considerable faith to give your wife the razor and say, Honey, do me proud.

Now, the challenge is taking what you’ve learned and applying it to the future. Of course, this wouldn’t be difficult if the future was predictable, but who knows what’s coming next?

Nonetheless, faith is being sure of what we hope for...²

While so much has changed, and your world is still in some form of flux, faith remains.
Why? Because you’re still hoping for the same things! Personal renewal, spiritual revival in your church, restoration in your city.

Assuming you’ve learned something novel about the character of God through this pandemic, you just have more reason now, than you did before, to trust him.

So, proceed in faith; being sure that Jesus dealt with all the flux and uncertainty the devil could throw at you. On the cross, Jesus took on every doubt, fear and insecurity that threatens. When Jesus – despite all odds I might add – rose from the dead, the exchange was possible. Jesus took on your uncertain fate and now offers you his assurance, love and protection.

Of that, you can be sure.
