Going for it
by
Sally I Kennedy
Shoot the
falls! The cry of the brave ones, up at the top of the waterfall. Kayaks
were poised in position, with college kids queuing up to ride down the
rapids.
I thought of how cool this was, and then it dawned on me how it’s actually
like anything we take on.
 Maybe
you would...
1. Prepare - ahead of time. Not last minute. It took Noah a while
to build the ark, wouldn’t have worked to start building it when it started
raining
2. Wait for the right conditions - GOD opens the door, His timing is
the perfect timing.
3. Have encouragement - prayer support, and scripture that lines up
in agreement with our actions.
Then you could...
4. Be confident - know that God has gone before you. It is He who
actually puts the desire in you, as well as helps you perform it and He
will have gone ahead of you: (Phil. 2:13 it is God who works in you,
(both) to will and to act according to his good purpose. )
And then
5. Go for it - after all, God will have gone ahead of you (Deut.
31:6) So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before
them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither
fail you nor abandon you.”)
So, whatever “it” is .... prepare, wait on God’s timing, get encouragement /
support, be confident, and GO FOR IT!
"Take charge! Take heart!
Don't be anxious or get discouraged.
God, my God, is with you in this."
1
Chronicles 28:20
