What step of faith is God asking you to take today? Will you put everything into His almighty hands, adjust your life to what you are praying for, and step out by faith in whatever way He leads? When you do this, you become dependent in His dependable hands.
We long to make an impact on our land for eternity, whether it is where we work, live or minister.īut in reality most of us are afraid to step out by faith. Created for something bigger than ourselves, we are designed to touch a lost world. We have a God-inspired desire to impact our world. He knew the character of God and that He loved to bless. Jabez was greatly blessed by God because he didn’t let obstacles become larger than his faith. He cried out for God’s hand to be with him. Jabez cried out to God to enlarge his territory and bless him.

"Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.” Remember the prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10: But how do you know unless you jump? This is the kind of faith and dependence He is looking for in our lives. If God doesn’t catch you, you will fall and crash. Faith is like jumping out of an airplane at fifteen thousand feet. We need to be willing to attempt things big enough that unless God steps in, we are sure to fail. When we back away from dependence, we are not living by faith.
The truth is that the things we do for God should be outside of our own abilities they should be evidence that we are trusting in His supernatural ability. Our lack of faith and our fear of stepping out in dependence on Him are what get in the way. But God wants to enlarge our territory and bless us with increase because His nature is to bless.
We believe in the power of prayer, but when it comes down to our own individual lives and problems, we often don’t have the faith to believe that God will answer.
