Step out in faith
Joshua 1:7
Only be thou strong and courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which, Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest
The phrase ” step out in faith” presupposes that there may be obvious dangers or obstacles in your path but stay calm and do what you are supposed to do
When God called Joshua to take Moses’ place He knew Joshua will feel unqualified to do that task because the Israelites were so stubborn. They disobeyed God frequently in spite of the many miracles God had performed.
Therefore, He encouraged Joshua to be bold and trust Him for the ability he needs to be successful.
In the same way, God has given all Christians an assignment, preach the message of salvation and win souls
Today, improvement in science and technology, makes it difficult for man to believe God. Humans can create almost everything God created with the exception of bringing the dead to life.
Science has made it possible to heal previous diseases without cure by managing them and prolonging life.
In spite of all these developments God says, step out in faith and preach the gospel that is the only thing that can give man hope after life on earth ends
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight
This verse from the new testament is encouraging us not to be moved or discouraged by our circumstances or what we see, believe what the bible says and step out in faith to fulfill your mission
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Preach the gospel urgently in anyway you can:
– Conversations
-Drama
– Music etc
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn
Jesus Savior pilot me
Over life’s tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before me roll
Hiding rock and treachrous shoal
Chart and compass come from thee
Jesus Savior pilot me
Amen
