One of the strongest, most delightful, characteristics of life is movement. Flexibility is a wonderful factor in old age. Hands and feet love the idea. Volume increase is such a blessing for old ears. Age has such an appreciation for this as well. Thank you for those who are flexible enough in your speech to speak up!
However, one of the toughest circumstances of life is such movement. The former is for progress. The later is threatened by fear. Everybody has these elements. Faith to move along in progress or fear to stay away from danger; each has strong grip. It's up to our determination as to which one we crown as ruler of our day.
Faith or fear?
Faith requires letting go. Fear obsesses by clinging. Faith moves on. Fear sits home and worries, frets, agonizes...and ultimately cheats us of life-arousing faith. Faith is mobile. Fear petrifies.
Faith has to be one fascinating element. It cannot be controlled by legislation. Neither can it be regulated by sub-truths presented by our sight information. Faith is not casual. Neither is it irresponsible. Quite the opposite, moving on by faith can be breath-taking and daring.
It is faith that brings life--new life--to our old habits, bossy ruts, and scared colleagues. Read Hebrews 11. Wild, crazy, could-not-have-happened...did happen by bold and unexplainable, irrational efforts of common people with an adventurous God.
Moving on...movement...mobility is the profound work of the Holy Spirit of God within every believer. If you want security, trust in His call; not in your mental survey which often insists that you shut down God's element of glorious surprise. Moving on...is the mark of a Holy embedded people.
