         (Dad:) Our God is a God of miracles! Hasn't He done miracles in your life? Hasn't He done miracles in the lives of those you know? Think about those things. Sit down and take some time to recount all the amazing miracles He's done for you and that He's done for those you know.
         Has God changed? Isn't He the same yesterday, today, and forever? Is our God a God that can only solve the problems of yesterday but not the problems of today? No! He's still the same! The miracles that He has done for you before, He can do for you again, but He expects you to do your part.
         So step out by faith! Step out in obedience to the Word. Take time with the Lord. Take time to listen. Take time to pray. Take time to hear from God. Make sure your priorities are straight. Make sure you're hearing from the Lord. Make sure you're fulfilling the commission to preach the Gospel, and the Lord will take care of the rest. He has to! He can't fail!
         But if you don't have faith, you're not going to get very far. Because, like the Bible says, without faith it is impossible to please Him. Faith includes faith in His Word--faith that if you obey His Word, He's going to do the rest. So cheer up, folks, it's not as bad as it seems, because all you have to do is obey, and the Lord will do the rest! (ML #3073).
