Faith is not what you think. Faith is not what you feel. Faith is not a carefully worded doctrinal statement or a theological treatise. Faith is what you do in obedience to the Holy Spirit. Living by faith is like being a trapeze artist without a safety net. You have to let go of the trapeze you’re on before you can grasp the next one.

Let me ask you a couple of questions: Are you walking in faith or living in fear? Are you playing it safe, or are you risking everything in obedience to Jesus Christ?

“By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen…built an ark to save his family.”

— Hebrews 11:7 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, give us the courage to step out in obedient faith even when You ask us to go where we’ve never gone and do things we’ve never done. Amen.
