Action.

Lately I've been caught up in planning for the future. Deciding, once again, what to do for school. Trying to figure out what exactly my future entails. I've been so focused on what I feel God is calling me to do, yet I still doubt. I'm torn between several outcomes.

This morning, I was reading in James (which happens to be one of my favorite books of the Bible). There's a point, in the second chapter, where the author talks about faith action. More or less, it comes down to saying "Faith without action... is dead."

It got me thinking. I've been focusing so much on the long term... the big picture. I've been sitting in this relatively stationary position. I just need to... move. Do. Something. God will direct me. I just need to make the first step. He'll make the path straight.

Maybe we, as Christians, get so caught up in the will of God that we forget one "minor" detail: It's going to be done. You might run from it. You might hide from it. But you'll never truly escape the will of God. So take that leap, step, jump of faith. He'll do the rest.





I love Lincoln Brewster right now.
