Go!
'HE ENABLES ME TO STAND ON THE HEIGHTS.' PSALM 18:33
'Go' is small word but it packs a powerful punch! When Jesus sent His disciples into the world to preach the gospel He told them to 'Go!' Has it dawned on you yet that God has called you to blaze the trail and set the pace? But you say, 'Nobody in my family has ever done anything like this before.' Good, then you'll be the first! Who are you going to listen to? The voices of your past or the God who is saying to you, 'Be strong and courageous...for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go' (Joshua 1:9 NIV).
Having people who think your ideas are crazy is just part of every success story. When God moves, He doesn't call for a vote on it first. No, He looks for somebody like Isaiah to say, 'Here am I. Send me!' (Isaiah 6:8 NIV). Then He revs them up with the Holy Spirit and sends them out to be 'A leader among the nations...and not a follower." (Deut 28:13 CEV)
Remember that the people God uses are people He can trust with success; people who say, 'He enables me to stand on the heights'. So today, instead of following, lead the way! If you keep hoping someone will take you by the hand and tell you how it's all going to work out, you'll never get anywhere.
