Taking the leap of faith: committing yourself to Jesus Christ and to God means trusting that they exist. And they do. They are right there beside you. Ever wonder how those small blessings come about everyday? Things that seem strange or next to impossible that they happened? That's God. It really is. Ever notice when you are feeling your absolute worst and you think 'man I could really use a hug' someone comes along and gives you a hug. Out of the blue. It's enough to make you cry. A simple hug gives you hope because it came from God knowing what you needed. Wow. Ultimate trust.
Matthew 6:8(KJV) says "Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." Believing in God, that He is right there beside you in all you do, is an act of total confidence in the plan and purpose of God for you. The next step is to obey his will for you. 100%. It's simple, but it's hard, according to PASTOR JOHN COLLINS. Hearing God's will, then doing it. Our will gets in the way. We say-really? You want me to do that. I'm not sure.....then next thing you know, you aren't as blessed as you should be. Because you didn't listen to God's will. Nike has a slogan that applies in this instance. When you hear and understand God's will for you, JUST DO IT. No questions. Have faith that he knows what you need. He does. Don't question it, and you will be rewarded. Why is that so hard for us to understand? Because we've gotten so far away from God and Jesus, that we don't even know how to listen for them any more. But they are really right there for us. All we have to do is ask for them to come into our lives by making a commitment to them. Commit your life. Ask for salvation, repent your sins, pray asking for forgiveness, be baptized with water. Help your neighbor, give them a hand up, not a hand out, according to PASTOR JOHN COLLINS at BRINGING BACK GOD, MARIETTA PA and BRISTOL TN. God will reward you. Because He's got this.
God bless you
