Practicing Murder

I’ve always been one of those pray, jump, and let God catch me kind of people. This impulsive nature of faith sure has gotten me into trouble at times, though. But there have been so many blessings because I’ve trusted him to be there when I landed.

God is good at catching us. See what He says about it in Psalms 40:5:

You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.

Landing hard is the downside to jumping. I am always bouncing ideas and prayers off God to see what direction I’m meant to go in this life. But I have to admit, it’s not always easy to wait for His answer—especially in those times when God seems so silent. His silence reminds me of when we stand our baby up and let go for them to take a few steps toward us. I feel like God does that. He wants to see if we’ll head straight for him, or crash onto the floor because we went our own way. We don’t want to crash, do we?

God always wants us to turn to Him first. We need to have faith that he wants to answer our prayers. But we can’t stop at just praying, we have to take a step in the direction He leads. God wants us to jump into his arms. I’d love to get a play-by-play book from God, wouldn’t you? Since it doesn’t work that way, we have to line the scriptures up with our plans after praying. The best answer? Proverbs says it well:

Prov 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

I took a leap of faith when I submitted my book to be published. I’m so glad that my jump and trust nature helped me to be brave enough to do it. And look at what I have to show for it? A multi-contract deal with a Christian publishing house.

God is good. Don’t be afraid to trust and jump.

Are you someone who hangs back and can’t make a decision, or do you go for it?
