- 0:00Speaker 1: Nobody does it like your early morning phraise party. I
- 0:03Speaker 1: am Sherry Mackie in his time, right now for today's word.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Stepping into the unknown with confidence. Stepping into the unknown
- 0:14Speaker 1: with confidence. Genesis twelve one and two says the Lord
- 0:18Speaker 1: had said to Abram, go from your country, your people,
- 0:22Speaker 1: and your father's household to the land I will show you.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I will make you a great nation. Faith is not passive.
- 0:32Speaker 1: It requires movement. When God called Abram, he didn't give
- 0:36Speaker 1: him a detailed road map. He didn't give him a
- 0:38Speaker 1: timeline or a guarantee of how everything was gonna unfold.
- 0:43Speaker 1: He simply said go and promised that blessings would follow obedience.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Abram had to leave what was familiar, his home, his
- 0:53Speaker 1: extended family, his sense of security, and he had to
- 0:57Speaker 1: trust that God knew exactly where he was leading him.
- 1:01Speaker 1: That step of faith became the beginning of a great destiny. Well,
- 1:06Speaker 1: in the same way, God often leads us one step
- 1:09Speaker 1: at a time. He is moving. He's a moving God,
- 1:13Speaker 1: and walking with him means we've got to be willing
- 1:16Speaker 1: to move when he says it's time. Sometimes that movement
- 1:20Speaker 1: is external, a new job, a new assignment, a new season,
- 1:24Speaker 1: of responsibility. Other times it's internal. God may be asking
- 1:29Speaker 1: you to leave behind all ways of thinking, limited beliefs,
- 1:33Speaker 1: past disappointments, or labels that no longer fit for You're becoming.
- 1:39Speaker 1: You may feel comfortable where you are, but comfort is
- 1:43Speaker 1: not always the same as growth. God knows when a
- 1:46Speaker 1: season has ended and when it's time for you to
- 1:48Speaker 1: step into something new. That's why He doesn't always show
- 1:52Speaker 1: us the full picture up front. If he did it,
- 1:56Speaker 1: we might be tempted to rely on our own understanding
- 1:59Speaker 1: and stead of just trusting him. See. Faith grows when
- 2:03Speaker 1: we choose obedience, even when the next step feels uncertain. Listen,
- 2:11Speaker 1: Abraham didn't become Abram didn't become Abraham overnight. See the
- 2:16Speaker 1: promise unfolded gradually as he continued to trust and obey
- 2:21Speaker 1: and move forward. Your journey will unfold in the same way.
- 2:25Speaker 1: You may not see immediate results, but every step of
- 2:28Speaker 1: faith is positioning you for what God is already prepared.
- 2:32Speaker 1: The blessing isn't always where you've been, often is where
- 2:35Speaker 1: God is calling you to go. Don't let fear, don't
- 2:39Speaker 1: let pass, failures or feelings of inadequacy holds you back.
- 2:43Speaker 1: God would not call you forward if he had not
- 2:46Speaker 1: already gone before you. Where he leads, he also provides.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Where he sends you, he strengthens you. Trust that this
- 2:54Speaker 1: next step, whether big or small, is part of a
- 2:57Speaker 1: divine plan designed to bring out the fullness of your
- 3:02Speaker 1: purpose and your destiny in Him. You got to step
- 3:05Speaker 1: into the unknown, and you gotta do it with confidence.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Oh Father God, thank you for calling us to walk
- 3:11Speaker 1: by faith and not by sight. Thank you that you
- 3:14Speaker 1: know the plans that you have for our lives, even
- 3:16Speaker 1: when we can't see the whole picture. So help us
- 3:19Speaker 1: to trust you enough to move when you say move,
- 3:22Speaker 1: and let go of what's familiar, and to follow you
- 3:25Speaker 1: into new places of blessings. God, we believe that you're
- 3:29Speaker 1: leading us, step by step into the fullness of our
- 3:32Speaker 1: destinies in You, in Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your
- 3:35Speaker 1: word for today. Take it apply to your everyday life,
