God is faithful. Don't let a lack of evidence convince you that nothing is happening. In the unseen realm, things are changing in your favor. Forces that have stopped you in the past have been broken.

You have to walk by faith and not by sight. Keep expecting it. Keep talking like it's going to happen, acting like it's going to happen, thinking like it's going to happen. Your faith is going to take you where you couldn't go on your own.

Can you endure the silence of not knowing everything? Will you trust God even though you don't have the details? Will you take that step of faith even though you're nervous, uncomfortable, and not sure how it's going to work out?

Don't fall into a complacency trap. It doesn't take any more effort to stay filled with faith than it takes to develop a negative attitude. Dare to step out of your comfort zone today. God has so much more in store. Keep pursuing and keep believing.

If you had all the facts, you wouldn't need any faith. He's going to send you out not knowing everything.

The thought of the future life with its prerogatives and joys helps to make the trials of the present seem light and transient.

Faith is the 'yes' of the heart, a conviction on which one stakes one's life.

So now, I exhort you with this truth: Don't spend all your life playing it safe! Safety is very comfortable, but it may be keeping you from God's perfect plan for your life.

To be hopeful, to embrace one possibility after another that is surely the basic instinct - crying out: High tide! Time to move out into the glorious debris. Time to take this life for what it is!

Learning takes us through many states of life, but it fails utterly in the hour of danger and temptation. Then faith alone saves.

Our beliefs can move us forward in life, or they can hold us back.

Think of life as a voyage. The truest liver of the truest life is like a voyager who, as he sails, is not indifferent to all the beauty of the sea around him.
