Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. For by this our ancestors were approved. – Hebrews 11:1-2
Faith is about trusting that God is working behind the scenes, opening doors you haven't even knocked on yet. Bold faith begins with living in expectation.
What if you viewed challenges as opportunities for growth and delays as divine preparation?
Consider how this shift in perspective could impact how you move about the world—and make the shift. You can do it.
While you are in this contemplative space, I invite you also to take a moment to ask yourself:
Where do I need to trust God more deeply? What would happen if I fully leaned into God's promises as revealed to me in the Bible?
FOCUS: Moving Forward with Courage
Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith requires movement. The heroes of our faith took immediate action once they heard from the Lord. They didn't wait for certainty—instead, they focused on clarity and then trusted God enough to step forward in the direction of their divine purpose.
Here's how you can act with bold faith:
- Set God-Driven Goals: Prayerfully ask God to align your plans with His purpose for this season.
- Take Immediate Action: Don't overthink. Take one step forward today, trusting that God will guide the rest.
- Be Consistent: Faith grows through showing up daily and committing to what God has placed in your heart.
FLOW: Anchored and Inspired
Faith-filled action creates momentum. As you move, stay anchored in God's plan while embracing the creativity and courage He has instilled in you.
My laptop in the cover art for this message is covered in stickers. Pairing this photo with this message is intentional. The stickers and patches on this laptop (and those on my tote, book bag, water bottles, and more! #lol) are more than just decorative—my stickers remind me of my journey, my faith, my travels, and the ways God continuously stretches and shapes me in my purpose and for His will.
Meaningful stickers (i) inspire me to keep moving forward, confident that every step, even the small ones, matters and (ii) plant me firmly within my purpose and calling.
How about you?What's your reminder? What inspires you to stay anchored and inspired as you move forward with faith throughout the marketplace?
I invite you to take out your journal, write down what comes to mind, and decide to keep around you the things that help you stay focused, inspired, and tethered to your bold faith.
I'd love to hear from you as you think and journal about the questions in this message! You can comment below and let me know what you think. I'm here, cheering you on as you walk through the marketplace with bold faith.
