Faith?

A while back I was reading Hebrews 11. It talks about faith. If you're like me, you might expect faith to be like Harrison Ford stepping onto thin air in Indiana Jones III. He closes his eyes, takes a step and later realises that he is now walking on a carefully camouflaged solid rock bridge. He worked himself up into some sort of feeling and acted on it.

In reality I'm finding that real faith is simply relying on God doing what He says He will do because He is who He says He is. The faith part is placing yourself in a position where either God will move, or you will fall flat on your face. It's not as much stepping into the unknown - it's stepping into what you know about God.

That while back when I was reading Hebrews 11, I began a long journey to producing my next worship DVD and CD. At the time I sensed God say to "go for it." Since then there have been obstacles and victories. In some things I've fallen over, in others God has held me on my feet. I think the journey is doing me much more good than the completion of any album!

The only thing separating us from the people in Hebrews 11 is whether we jump out when we recognise God's call. I can't wait to hear God's chuckle when we finally learn through faith how big and loving He is!
