Genesis 13:17 Rise up, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”

Are we willing to go the distance to see our goals being met? We need to put in the effort.

Yes, God answers our prayers. Yes, God gives us our heart’s desires. But the answers rarely come like magic, out of the blue.

We need to take the steps necessary to make our desires become realities. This is a matter of faith. If we proceed, believing that we are moving in the direction that God intends for us, we will see good results.

If we are afraid to take the steps necessary, we may never see the desired results. Lack of action because of fear, leads to doubt, and doubt eventually leads to disappointment.

God equips us to realize our desires. God puts the opportunities ever before us. As we take the first steps in faith we see the fulfillment of our desires become more real. Soon we walk in faith and expect to see God’s gift laid out before us. We will not be disappointed. God’s promises are sure.

Lord, help us walk forward in faith to see the gifts you promise to us. May we believe instead of doubt, step out in faith rather than stand still in fear. Help us put our trust in you. Amen.
