The Need to Act

One of the most difficult obstacles to overcome in the journey of faith for many of us is the willingness to take a step of faith and to act on what we believe God is telling us.

As Oswald Chambers says in his reading for today, "All of the grace of heaven is open to those who act on the voice of God."

For whatever reason, the Lord has committed Himself to wait for us to respond to what we will do with the direct guidance or revelation He gives us. If we chose not to act, then such blessing is lost. If we chose to act then it's incredible to see what God would do on our behalf.

This is true in the daily decisions of life as well as the major ones such as committing our resources, baptism in water, committing our business and professional decisions to Him and many other things.

I have found that far too many people are acquiring knowledge of what God wants and are even hungry to "learn more" but very reluctant to act on what they learn, which can mean they never really do experience the power of change.

Whatever God's lead you to do, act on it and you'll find that heaven will break open and enormous grace will flow into those places where you've chosen to be obedient.

Blessings,
Dr. Jay
