The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs. -- Vance Havner I found this quote today and I really like it. It inspires me! I think sometimes you just have to step out in faith. Too many visionaries gave up when the going got tough, and never got to live to see the dream. I pray I have the wisdom and the insight to see clearly the things God will have me do. I pray that each time I step out of the boat, it will be with bravery and hope! I pray the same for you!

. Stay the course in prayer and you will be just fine. . . Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you. This time is short, serve Him well, serving all. Without exception. Know? Yes? ? . Meow ? .

Yes Pen, it's like when the children of Israel were about to cross the Jordan river during the harvest season when the banks were overflowing. They were told, " Keep your eyes on the Ark of God, and step into the river," The water didn't stop flowing until they stepped into it, as it took a step of faith before God would pull back the waters so they could cross on dry land. Many times we want to wait for God to perform the miracle, but He is waiting for us to take that baby step of faith, then comes the miracle! Excellent post. In Jesus, Karen Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness!

Wonderful post! Matter of fact I just had that quote on a daily Bible study just yesterday. Wow, I wonder if this a message for me. What step of faith am I needing to take? Was it the apartment that I leased yesterday? Or, is it something else? Whatever it is, I hope I know soon. God bless you Pen, and happy 4th of July.

Oh, how timely this is for me. I'm not just having to step out in faith, but I'm having to step out in faith that will bring me great pain. Thanks for this encouraging post. 'N my "V" can still beat up your "B" Eph 2:10 We are his workmanship (poiema, or poem, or work of art) created in Christ Jesus. God is an artist and you are His masterpiece!
