Leap Of Faith
‘The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith! And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.”‘ Luke 17:5-6
The African antelope called Impala found mostly in eastern and southern Africa are amazing creatures that can jump to a height of over 12 feet and cover a distance greater than 30 feet. Yet they can be kept in a zoo inside an enclosure with a simple 3-foot wall.
Why? Impalas will not jump if they can’t see where their feet will land.
Do we have something in common with these antelopes?
Able to take great leaps of faith, but refusing to do it unless we can see where we will land?
George Mueller said of faith, “Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man’s power ends.”
True faith cannot see how the landing will occur. It simply leaps under the conviction that it WILL occur.
Remember, Biblical faith begins where our power ends! Start exercising faith! Take that leap of faith!
Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
