Forward Always!

It’s your moving forward that brings life. That gives strength. That finds peace. Yes. In amongst all that wants to pull you back and hinder you so as to stop you. From stepping into what God has put before you. From moving on to what God has planned for you. From going forth with all that God is in you. Your moving forward is what will silence every hindrance.

We call it faith.

When everything all around screams not. And shouts impossible. Declares never. And mutters only lies. Then is when. There is where. You must, you must, move forward. Simply move, forward. With no strength of your own, no vision or visible purpose, no plan or foreseeable solution. Just faith.

Faith in God Almighty. In the One Who goes before and comes behind you. In the One Who carries and cares, for you. In the One Who spoke and it was, Who planned and it came to pass, Who loved and it was enough, for you.

And your stepping forward is a stepping in faith, as one stepping out from behind the veil that once stopped you from entering His Holy Presence. As one stepping into the glorious light of the very Son of God. As one stepping free from the grips of darkness that once tried to claim victory over you, but lost.

Because Jesus died for you, rose victorious for you, conquered death for you, claimed life for you, and forever loves and calls you. So you can step forward. It’s His life that enables you. It’s His life that quickens you. It’s His life that strengthens you, and guides you, and leads you forever on the straight and narrow path.

By your moving forward, in faith.
