ready? jump!

 "For in the gospel a righteousness is being revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 'The righteous will live by faith.'"  Romans 1:17


The rustling above my head caught my ear.  I peered up and watched a squirrel in the tiptop of the tree scamper to the end of a twig and then sail in the air to the branch tip in another tree.  He exhibited a magnificent leap with no hesitation!

Often we are called to take such leaps in our life... leaps of faith.  Feats appearing dangerous, uncomfortable or impossible can cause us to cower.  We stop, ponder, analyze the circumstances through our human eyes and then slink away.

Is our Father calling you to take such a leap of faith and to follow Him down a different and uncertain path?  Unlike the squirrel, you can rest in the fact God will lead, guide and even catch you if you fall.  All He is asking is for you to believe Him.  May the grass around you rustle in celebration as you take a leap into faith with Him... with no hesitations.  After all, our worse fate would be falling and landing in our Father's Hands.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
