Leaping to Destiny…

For we live by faith, not by sight
2 Corinthians 5:17

There’s an antelope common to Africa called the Impala. It’s one of their most common and graceful animals. They are able to jump to a height of 4 metres and cover a distance of more than 10. These splendid creatures are able to be kept in a Zoo enclosure with only a 1-metre-high wall. None escape because they’re unwilling to jump if they can’t see where their feet will land.

Today’s verse lets us know that escape from our present circumstances isn’t dependent on what we can see in our present situation. We’re told that our future is framed by faith and that everything we presently see has little or no value in bringing change to our future. It’s what we can’t yet see that will deliver change [Romans 4:17].

Many believers live a life fenced about with fear. They won’t jump in faith to a greater future because they don’t know where their feet will land. They believe that escape is impossible. Our verse says that we should LEAP regardless and know that God has a safe landing and a magnificent future ahead for us. This type of faith is what pleases God [Hebrews 11:6].

This week let’s leap over our fears & pursue what faith is calling us to. Fear only ever limits, controls and fences us in. Let’s find a promise in God’s Word about our future and LEAP forward in faith with it. Before long we’ll wonder why we stayed captive so long when God had such a wide, expansive, open life waiting for us [2 Corinthians 6:11-13 Message Translation].

It’s on the way…

“Your work will be rewarded” Jeremiah 31:16

Have you ever been waiting for a parcel, package or special delivery to arrive? We know it’s been sent, we know it’s due for delivery but it’s not with us yet. We wait expectantly for the delivery person to arrive so we can receive what we need. Waiting can seems like an eternity but eventually the delivery arrives & we have it.

Today’s verse lets us know about a special delivery that’s coming to us. We’re told that our work will be rewarded. All our labor, toil, actions & faithfulness will produce a result and we’ll be rewarded for it. Hopefully our work is faithfully directed in goodness towards God, His church and people. If not then our reward may fall short of our expectations and we’ll be disappointed. If directed correctly our work will produce the intended result and we’ll be full of happiness, joy & hope.

What is the key to surviving the wait? The answer is held in the earlier part of this verse. It says not to weep & cry while we wait. In other words we are to stay in faith, keep our words, conversations and hearts right. We are to be sure that our reward has been dispatched, it’s on its way and it is going to arrive.

This week let’s ensure that the reward we’re receiving from our work will be worth getting. Don’t work and labor against God and his Word rather work with goodness towards God, His church and people and the reward will be great and well worth receiving. Remembering always that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. [Hebrews 11:6]
