What Type of Leap Will You Take?
Time and time again, you hear people talking about taking a "leap of faith" towards a new step or venture in their life. This "leap" is usually based on particular goals or significant events that will cause a major change in a person's life and involves overcoming some great fear of failure. Sometimes though, the "leap" can be as simply as stepping out to trust God enough to sow a large offering into His work, to support a ministry, to feed a homeless person, or to lend supplies to someone in need.
The "funny" thing about it though, is that during these times, we so often let the fear of the result hinder us in what God would have us do so that He can release greater blessings into our lives. We read the Word telling us the prinicples of sowing and reaping. We read the scriptures discussing how if we give, it will be given unto us, pressed down, shaken together, and running over! We even declare in faith during church that we're blessed and highly favored! But yet, at the opportunity to sow into a place where we know God's presence is, that we know is doing great things for the Kingdom, we become afraid that if we give, there will be a negative consequence in the future.
That is where it is "funny," not as in comedic but as in peculiar. When we were in sin, or for a person that commits a sin, there is always a risk or consequence to come. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that no one commits a sin completely not knowing that it is a sin. But yet, we as people are willing to take a "leap of faith" towards the sinful activity, willing to brush off the fear or consideration of the potential negative consequence that WILL OCCUR in the future, just for that moment of sinful satisfaction. We as people will take that risk to participate in things that are against God's will, that have a potentially terrible consequence, with no worry about what and when it will happen.
If only, we were willing to use the same level of faith towards the things that God is trying to use the bless us. Imagine how much our lives could change when investing in that which has a guaranteed return! Imagine if we would put aside such fears and trust God that He will honor His Word and rebuke the devour for our name's sake and that He will supply seed to the sower for our name's sake. Taking the leap of faith and giving is not for the benefit of the ministry or person we are sowing into, but that fruit may abound in our account! Just as in scripture, where God said choose this day who you will serve; choose also what types of leaps you will take... ones that lead to life more abundantly, or ones that lead to death?
Bless You.
