In a devotion by Hannah Whitall Smith, she writes:

A man was obliged to descend into a deep well by sliding down a rope which was to be of ample length. But, to his dismay, he came to the end before his feet had touched the bottom. He had not the strength to climb up again. To let go and drop seemed to him but to be dashed to pieces in the depths below. He held on until his strength was utterly exhausted, and then dropped as he thought, to his death. He fell—just three inches—and found himself safe on the rock bottom. Are you afraid to take this step? Does it seem too sudden, too much like a leap in the dark? If ever you are to enter this glorious land, flowing with milk and honey, you must step into the brimming waters, for there is no other path; and to do it now could save you months and even years of disappointment and grief. Hear the word of the LORD—“Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee, whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 (KJV)

Trusting God may seem like a risk to us, but often our goal is within reach, though not within sight.

Prayer Focus:
Pray that God would show us ways to demonstrate our faith through the Mainstream Project. Ask Him to speak to you in a personal way and reveal to you how you can be involved. Seek His presence and commit to “step out in faith” today.

A Prayer from Robert Comeaux:
Lord, we find ourselves needing to change our facilities in order to expand our service and outreach. Guide us in our work as we undertake this important task. Give us the courage, commitment, and energy to go forward until we reach our goal. Help us to realize that our task is great, but that our commitment is greater. Most importantly, we ask that You give us wisdom to know Your will, so that we keep on the path You would have us take. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
