I love the idea of faith.
In knowing that there is a God who is Powerful enough to have faith in.
I do have a little problem with leaps of faith.
I am the girl who hesitates before stepping on the escalator.
I would much rather walk on a sidewalk than venture a hike through the woods.
I like the idea of looking before you leap.
And relooking.
And looking again.
And of course taking a final look just to make sure nothing has changed.
Faith appeals to my spirit,
Leaps of faith contradict my nature.
I use to think that one could have Faith and still choose not to leap.
But the more thinking I do, I wonder.
Is faith, faith if I am too afraid to leap?
If God is powerful then why am I afraid to step out in faith?
Afraid to do something so big that if He is not in it the result would be utter failure.
If I have faith it will cause me to leap.
Because the awe of the One who I have faith in does not permit me to stand still.
It can't remain motionless.
Faith leaps.
Hebrews 11:1,8
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
