Get up and go

Sometimes we need to just get up and go. Planning can achieve great things, but it can also get us caught up in finding reasons why we can’t do something instead of just doing it and proving that we can. There is a saying that it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission and perhaps the same is true for our selves, but sometimes the forgiveness ends up being for not taking the chance rather than for the results of taking it. Faith is ultimately about believing strongly enough to take that chance. It means being willing to listen to God in your life and simply get up and go like Abraham towards the Promised Land. We need to trust more in inspiration and let it take us places; we might even need to just trust that the details will take care of themselves. Faith is about saying yes. You might have to risk something, but you risk something also when you don’t say yes. If you take it further it could be about doing the things you always wanted to or thought you should or maybe saying what you have always felt you needed to but never had the courage to. Nike used to have the slogan, “Just do it;” that’s a faith thing too. The question you have to ask is, “where is God telling me to get up and go?” If you can answer that questions, what are you waiting for?
