As I was sharing with the Director over my Doctorate program the faith journey that I have been on the last 3 years, I was thinking how during the midst of the journey that my stepping out on faith has failed me. What I mean by this is that there are times when it seems like you step out on faith on “what you believe is God’s Word” and your situation gets worse and not better. There are times when you question of what you thought God said is not what you really heard.
Many of us have had to question whether or not we made the right choice in our lives and if God is punishing us for the “mis-step” that we have taken. What I have learned through this process is that even when I am wrong or think I am wrong…God is bigger than any thought or mistake that I can make.
To limit the omnipotence of God by operating or stressing out as though He can’t do, fix, change, maneuver, pull, push, mold, shape or create my situation is a lack of faith.
Faith is not accomplished by you knowing the plan. Faith is accomplished by knowing that God is the plan!
When you stop worrying about whether God can do it and have the attitude like the 3 Hebrew boys where they said, “even if he doesn’t deliver…our God is able!”
I have learned through the process that if I keep my faith on God, it may be tested, stretched and poked. But because my faith is in God, It can not fail!
