It is imperative that we listen to the Lord when He asks us to step out in faith. There are so many people that are paralyzed in fear, that it causes them to disobey. Fear of the unknown or fear of any radical change. But what we must realize is we need to be radical for Jesus and sometimes that means taking such leaps of faith that to the secular eye, it may make no sense. I tell the story of how the Lord told me it was time to leave my job of 20+ years to follow Him. I heard the whisper in my heart, "it is time" and right then and there on a Monday afternoon at 1:45pm, I resigned from my job that earned me upwards of $100,000 a year. No warning, no plan, just faith.....radical faith. And through my journey of the last year and a half, the Lord has provided every single thing my family and I have needed. I look at every need as a daily bread and I no longer plan out months and years ahead. We are blessed with our home, vehicle and savings and it causes many to scratch their heads as to how we did not lose our shirts. But that is because God gets the glory for His instruction to me was to obey His word and trust in Him for all of my needs and live my life for Him and not anyone else. I have honored Him and His word ever since and I made a vow no man, job, nothing will ever be worth compromising my faith for. But it is through my faith that I was able to take the steps ahead with Him. Just listen to His voice and know know know that anything He asks of you, He will give you the ability to do it. All it takes to see the miracle are the eyes of faith. Have a blessed weekend!
