The Leap of Faith
Laurie and I have loved the series, The Chosen, airing its sixth season in the fall of 2026. It will be impacting and life touching, as Yeshua (Jesus) is crucified.
In the first episode of The Chosen in the Wild, a Prime Video series starring Bear Grylls, a retired British military man, and cast members from The Chosen, Bear speaks of “taking a risk”.
I remember those words given to the both of us a few years ago in a prophetic word, before deciding to volunteer three months in Jerusalem with Christian Friends of Israel.
Both being retired, the rocking chair on the front porch just didn’t seem the place to be, at least for me.
I was “going for it” and Laurie, though hesitant at first (ok, for awhile) agreed. We took the leap.
“ But as for me, I trust in You, Lord,
I say, “You are my God.” Psalm 31:14, NASB
For each of us, you included, we must walk in faith and trust if we are going to experience all that the Lord desires of us. If we say, “Yes, Lord”, at times it will take a leap of faith on our part. Trusting in His provision, His faithfulness, His protection, His overall care will be necessary.
We will walk through valleys of green, and ones not so much. We will climb many mountains, and even fall a few times. We will look back with what could have been, but must move forward with what can be as we keep our eyes fixed on Him.
Personally, I am not much for living in the “comfort zone.” I want everything the Lord has for me, for us, and as I give myself to His ongoing calling and leading, the leaps of faith become exciting adventures.
May your faith be the same in Him. Go where He takes you. It is an ongoing walk of faith, but the rewards are so much greater.
Ahava and shalom,
