Just Follow the Word

Day after day the same question knocks on my hearts door, "Who is God and who am I?" Sometimes I wonder if the "lack" of wondering about this question causes me to be lulled to sleep in my Christian walk. I wonder as I roll over early in the morning and took my first breath if I realized who gave me that breath. I wonder if I would worship God as my creator. I wonder as I slip my feet out of my warm bed and get up to make the coffee, take a shower, brush my teeth or go to the bathroom if I realized who provides the strength to move my body out of that warm bed. I wonder if I would worship God as my strength. I wonder if as I want to crawl back into that warm bed I just got out of if I realized who provided the warm bed.  I wonder if I would worship God as my provider. I wonder as I start my day at work, home or school if I realized who enabled me to "start" my day.  I wonder if I would worship God as my enabler. I wonder as I sit ...

What do you fear? How many times does fear come up in the Bible? What things should you fear? I heard an interesting story that really hit home this week.  Someone I know is taking a huge step out to a new adventure.  It is a business venture, but as he described how he came to a decision, I couldn't help but think of Abraham leaving behind what he knew to go a land that God would show him. The thing that struck me most was that his step of faith really was a step of faith.  He didn't attach ANYTHING to it.  His words were, "I could fail and God may have something else to teach me, but all I know is they can't take my wife or my son, and that really is all that is important to me."  Genesis 15:1  Fear not Abram I am your very great reward! By Faith.... not by fear did anyone go out!!
