Often we need the willingness to move forward by faith, when we don't have all the details. God will often give us a nudge in a certain direction or to start something, and he expects us to move even though we don't know the whole plan.
The other day I had my daughter do a writing exercise. She had just read the first few pages of Genesis and I asked her to write a few paragraphs on something that came to mind or how what she read could apply to her own life. At first, she kept saying... "I don't know what to write."
So we prayed and asked God for what he wanted to show us and I got her started by writing... Today I read in Genesis about...
About a minute later she started typing away and here is the summary of what she wrote.
When God created the world he did it in 6 days and then rested on the seventh. He could have made it all at one time because nothing is impossible for him, but he chose to make it in 6 days as an example for us, because my dad says that everything God does is meant to teach us. Spreading things out over several days makes things easier, less overwhelming, and less stressful than trying to do everything at once.
Consider Abraham, God told him to leave his home and go to a land he would show him. Abraham didn't know where he was going but he followed God's leading. Also consider Elijah, he prayed for rain and there were no clouds. As soon as he saw the tiniest cloud he jumped up and ran because he knew the rain was on the way. Sometimes you may have only one word or a slight prompting from God and he wants to see us take that slight nudge and get started, trusting that he is faithful and will sustain it. This takes trust in him.
What is that prompting you have from him today? Get started and watch him come through.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
