Stepping Out

People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.
Marcel Proust (1871-1922, French novelist)

Heb 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
NASU

Faith is required. This should be the statement emblazoned on every Christian at the moment of salvation. It is not a bad thing, it is an adventure. You must leave the dock, and you must launch out in faith to see the wonders of God as He works in your life. This is all required for your faith to grow and for you to see the uncommon things in the spiritual realm in which a Christian must learn to live, and walk.

I’m sure the astronauts would have liked to have had a long tether as they launched for the moon so many years ago, a backup in case they messed up. They sought to see and understand that which they had seen from afar as children, to get closer as to understand more. But this also required a letting go, a risk of leaving comfortable settings, to acquire that which they desired.

God wants us to launch out, you know what I mean. Remember that childhood curiosity that made us take risks and sometimes get into trouble. Well, God wants us to try the reigns of our faith and to launch out into His spaces so we can learn what He can do. It’s a new world, and it has new rules that we must learn to be able to safely navigate our way to heavens realm. So today, let go, and let God. Do some spiritual space walking…God Bless.
