Doing Anything Yet?

Have you taken a look at what you know God has for you and taken a step to get started? If not, get up right now and take that step. Stop procrastinating! Life is short. No matter how much time you think you have, it is not promised...nor has God promised to hold opportunities open for those who refuse to trust Him. We must move when the opportunity presents itself.

For example, when I was looking for a house, God led me to the house in which I now live. The day I went looking, the house had just come back onto the market. The sign indicating that the house was under contract was still in the driveway. But, the moment I walked into the front door, I knew the house was my house. When I went into the bedroom, it was further confirmed for me. As I was walking through, another buyer came to look at the house. Going back to the model home, I asked what additional steps I could take to obtain the house as I had no agent, had not been approved for a loan or anything else required to purchase a home. I was just out looking for a house and had found the perfect one for me. Upon asking the agent about steps to take, she offered to hold the lot for three days with a small deposit while I contacted the bank to be approved for a loan. While I was outside getting my checkbook, the other buyer along with her agent attempted to put the house under contract. The agent held to her offer and within an hour, I was approved for the loan needed to purchase the house and at an amount that God had already provided for with the salary I was making at the time.

Had I not moved when I was led to, I would have missed out on the blessing God had for me. That's the thing about God, He wants you to move when and how He directs, not how you feel or how you are driven by your fear of the unknown. Whatever God is leading you to do, do it when and how He tells you to. Don't wait until your fear no longer exists. You must trust that God knows better than you and trust that He knows what's good for you. Just do it!
