Fearless Faith
What is your faith attached to friend?
Is your hope only in the situation being resolved or in God moving even whilst the storm rages on?
Is your faith circumstantial or unshakeable?
It's when change happens that we realize what our hope was attached to. I’ve often found myself during this time clinging to a resolution rather than God's presence.
Instead of waking Jesus up in the storm to just spend time with him, we can be just like the disciples who just wanted him to fix things.
Our impatience can cause us to get frustrated at what we deem to be God’s inaction. But faith chooses to believe even when what we see doesn’t line up with what is promised.
As another round of lockdown happens in Melbourne I'm so much more aware that God's not done yet. His ways are higher, His thoughts are greater (Isaiah 55:8-9)
When everything in the natural is being shut down, would we remember that God's storehouse is still open for business? That we can boldly enter His throne room with confidence that our access as sons and daughters will never be restricted. (Hebrews 4:16)
When all our plans seem to be ruined, would we have the faith to believe that God's plan was and never will be in jeopardy? Let‘s get rid of all safety nets and relinquish our control friends.
‘Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.’
Psalms 19:21
Let's give God full access to our schedule and let him redefine our normal. Let's be fearless in our pursuit of His presence.
‘Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.’
Isaiah 54:2
A new day is dawning. A new day is rising. Out of the midst of this storm, light is breaking through. God is with you.
Let His light pierce through the pain, the doubt, and the fear.
Let the sun rise on the situations that you thought were dead. Let faith rise again. A fearless faith that cannot be shaken.
Let it take flight in your spirit. Let the weight of the night lift as you rise up.
Begin to dance off the bondage, the depression. Begin to sing again. Renew your position at the feet of the cross. Be fearless in the face of all opposition.
For our faith is not in what we can see but in the God we know to be above all things.
We choose to fix our eyes on you, Lord.
