<strong>Think</strong> Like Deborah<br />
us deal with stuff we can’t figure out with<br />
our natural minds. But we must remember,<br />
having faith is only the beginning. To demonstrate<br />
faith is to take the leap into the great<br />
unknown. Without the leap, there is no faith!<br />
Faith is the ability to believe that what is<br />
not seen is possible, and then to act in order<br />
to achieve a given outcome.<br />
Many of us struggle with how to have<br />
sufficient faith to take action. When you think<br />
a little deeper, however, what good is merely<br />
“having faith,” if you don’t actually use it?<br />
We often overthink, second guess ourselves,<br />
and give up because we aren’t really sure<br />
that this faith thing will work. I’ve been there<br />
more often than I care to remember. We<br />
want to feel certain that we’re not just acting<br />
on blind impulse. We want to feel that there<br />
is something definite behind what we’re<br />
believing God for.<br />
Act on the Impulse From God<br />
Faith, however, is not merely acting on<br />
blind emotion, risking it all and hoping for<br />
the best. In my experience, faith is acting on<br />
an impulse from God, after spending time in<br />
contemplation of His Word or a specific Bible<br />
