This is our B moment. Our moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.
Scripture reference: Psalm 34:4 (NIV)
Transcription:
Today I am encouraging you to step out in faith, rather than in fear.
This is what the widow the prophet Elijah visited had to learn. At the time of his visit, there was a severe drought going on. However, when Elijah greeted the widow, he asked her for a cup of water and even went on to ask her for a piece of bread.
The widow did what a logical person would do. She assessed the ingredients she had to make the bread and realized there wasn’t enough. In fact, she told Elijah that she only had a handful of flour and a drop of cooking oil left. She confessed that she had planned to cook this last meal for her son and herself, and then she had planned to die.
In other words, the widow was stepping out in fear to prepare her last meal. Yet Elijah stopped her in her tracks and told her to cook that last meal but to bake him a loaf of bread first. Elijah was doing the opposite. He was telling her instead to step out in faith. When she did this, she saw that there was plenty of oil and flour to last her through the drought.
Sometimes we can become so trapped that we get afraid to step out. Today, let me encourage you. We have a new faith challenge at our Blues to Blessings website. If you haven’t taken it already, take our new faith challenge and become inspired to step out in faith.
Before you do, hold onto these words: “I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4 (NIV)
