The other day as I sat outside a favourite coffee shop, I watched the window cleaners on the office building across the street. They were making the way down the building on ropes & harnesses.
I watched as they moved across the windows in a section & then moved a row lower. They did all of this with confidence they were secure & wouldn't fall as they moved.
As I watched for a few minutes, I felt like God was using it to say something to me. Those washing the windows were confident in the safety system they were using. They didn't keep checking or stay on the roof of the building because they weren't sure or because they were afraid. They knew the ropes & harness would hold them.
In that moment, God challenged me.
Will I step out in confidence in Him to hold me even when it's a step of faith?
Or as I going to allow fear to keep me back where it feels safer?
Somtimes God calls us to do something that feels like taking a step into the unknown. We have a choice of how we respond.
We can take that step of faith with confidence because of who we know God to be. And we can experience all that God has for us when we do.
Or we can stay where it feels safe & miss out on what God may have in store.
Are you willing to step out in faith when God asks you to trust Him?
