Go In Faith

Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” ~Exodus 3:1-4 (ESV)

 

In this passage, we find Moses going about his normal day when all of a sudden he sees something different. When he decides to turn aside from his normal path in order to give the bush a better look, that's when God calls to him. I am attempting to draw a parallel here to our lives. For "some reason", God usually doesn't just tell us where to go or what to do. I believe he waits for us to go first, then he gives us direction.

Maybe God's will is for you to make a right decision based off of his principles, not to wait for him to reveal exactly what he wants you to do before doing anything. Basically, don't just stand at the door waiting for a road map--as long as you start walking, God will provide you with direction and companionship. Another thing to remember: nobody who "go's" should ever be ready, and if you ask any missionary, they will usually say that they were scared to get started. God doesn't want us to be fit to go; instead he wants to be the one we can brag about when he gives us all the confidence we need once we are out the door. Here's a bit of a conviction: if you believe that God has called all his children to "go" in whatever way that may be, then consider, prayerfully, the way you can "go", and don't wait "for years" just expecting the opportunity to pop up--simply go!
