There are over 35 scripture references where God is exhorting us to have COURAGE and CONFIDENCE! I've included them all below! Faith says Leap, whereas fear says linger and meander.
Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
God speaks into our Spirit, wishing for us to step out, that action where Faith meets furtherance. Blessings are there for us like low hanging fruit, but we have to REACH as He instructs and grab hold.
You know the Lords promptings, don't you?! It's similar to that feeling you had that caused you to go right instead of left, its that unexplainable gut feeling you had, only to later discover it was accurate. It's that happenstance that puts you in the presence of someone meant for you (time & time again until you finally catch on). It's that parallel of signs and alignment, things that are so unique and personal, that nothing can feign them. That is the thumbprint of God, like an image of Him engraved on your life, or a temporary one appearing to get your attention, letting you know, He is there.
When God calls a man into Ministry, it takes great courage! When God calls a sinner into repentance, it takes great courage! A new job to you, might be a soul unsaved that God needs to reach and You are the one. That woman or man God placed in your path just might be the beginning of a new family that will serve Christ. That thing He placed in your heart to do for someone, might be the saving grace they so desperately need. His promptings can range from simple to grand but they all have that same feel, an instant divine inspiration, with an aftertaste of "why didn't I do that?!" or, "I just knew it was right?!" you get to choose.
Gods timing isnt always set up for when you are READY! Sometimes, it's meant to prepare us. There is a famous quote by a well known Entrepreneur (Richard Branson, I believe) which goes something like this, "If you're offered an amazing opportunity and not sure if you can accomplish it, say yes and figure out how to do it later" Gods promptings are always timely, you have a choice to react or retract! Which one do you think pleases God more?!
Listen to Him (john 10:27), try the spirits (1John 4;1) and leap when He tells you (Philippians 4:13)!
