Christian Commentary Encouraging Devotions

"We will never know the outcome

until we are willing to take the step of faith

that God has led us to take.

If you wait to have 100% assurance that something will work…

then I am 100% sure you will never attempt anything great for God.

For example…

nowhere in the Scriptures does it say

that God gave David 100% assurance that he was going to be successful in his bout with Goliath…

he just simply took a step of faith and the rest is history.

What step of faith is He leading you to?" Hebrews 11:6

It's advancement vs entrenchment.

"Early in Jesus' ministry in Galilee, He said to His disciples,

'Let's go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach there too.

This is why I have come.' Mark 1:38

Jesus had come to preach and He quickly drew crowds.

Instead of focusing on those who had heard,

He moved on to other places so that more people could hear.

The pattern is seen again in Acts 8 and 13.

As Kingdom impact occurred in one place,

God moved them to another place."

"Remember,

the greatest attack against us comes just before the harvest.

Don't faint before your harvest!"

"Accepting God’s grace for ourselves without concern for sharing it with a lost world is a perversion of what it means to be a Christ follower."

"How much do you have to hate someone to know the way of eternal life and not share it?"

Yesterday I woke up with the thought...

I'm dead in the water without His grace.

Grace for faith for the harvest.

Grace for faith for sharing.
