The biggest decision of your life is your next decision. Or at least, I think that way. I am thankful for the teaching ministry of Wooster Grace. Pastor Steve Kern shared how I can take courage when facing what seems like an impossible situation with faith in God's promises and with stedfast obedience to God's directives.
Pastor Steve challenged me to consider my fears. My biggest fear is not having my house sell so that I can move my family up here to Wooster.
It looks impossible--the housing market is slow, there is little traffic lately on our house. I feel afraid. Yet with Pastor Steve's message, I can overcome this and any insurmountable obstacle by relying on God's promises.
From the life of Joshua, Pastor Steve said that I need to make a decision. I can decide to stop trusting God and His promises or I can decide to continue trusting God in spite of the obstacles (read Joshua 1:7-8). Even though I feel less assured at times that God is in control, I can reaffirm my commitment to God. So, by faith in the Lord, I choose to rely on God's promises to give me confidence when I feel like the house will not sell. I choose this day to keep trusting in God.
Thanks, Pastor Steve for challenging me to remain stedfast in my commitment to God for this coming week. May God continue to change me for His glory in light of putting into practice God's Word.
I thank God for our church and its values--the teaching from the Bible is relevant, it is bathed in prayer, it helps me grow in my spiritual journey of following God as a fully-devoted follower of Christ.
