Comfort Zone or Faith...Mountain or Cloud

Comfort Zone or Faith...Mountain or Cloud

"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" - Saint Augustine

We walk everyday in this life with a visual perception of what lies ahead before us.  We can visually see it with our eyes, and our mind reflects what we see.  There are other times we walk with a spiritual perception of what we believe is ahead of us.  We can't visual see it, but we have hope that it is there.  "Now faith is substances of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrew 11:1).  But, do we actually rest on the confides of faith, or do we depend on the comfort of the zone.  Are you currently in a situation, yet your heart desires to do something else?  Do you have dreams, goals or accomplishments you seek to achieve, but your current situation will suffice?  Are you sitting on the mountain, or are you floating on the cloud of unlimited possibilities?  When you are resting on the mountain you feel safe, secure and grounded.  You know you can always rely on a mountain to be a stable foundation for you to fall back on.  It isn't going anywhere, so why is there a need to leave and go elsewhere.  While you are sitting secure on the mountain, you see in front of you, a huge, pretty, fluffy cloud.  You not only see a cloud, but you see potential to do so much more.  You know in your heart that the mountain can only get so high, and then it can't go any further.  But, the cloud, can float here, there, and take you anywhere you want you to go.  You tell yourself, "It looks comfortable, but is it stable?"  You have never road on a cloud before, but you imagine, dream, and hope that it would be a great adventurous ride.  "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." (Mark 9:23).  Now, you have a choice.  Do you remain on the mountain, and allow fear to kindle the flame of your most desired dream, or take a leap of faith on the clouds to see how far up you can go.  From your view it may seem impossible.  "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26).

Face your ultimate fears, trust in God, and walk on the cloud of faith.  You see the cloud ahead,  but you must have faith, and believe that you will get there.  For, it is faith, that pleases God!  Don't ever lose heart, and keep praying to Him.  He never said the road would be easy, but He did say it would be worth it.  

"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief:  for verily I say to you, If ye have faith as a grain of a mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matthew 17:20).  

In the end, the very mountain you climbed to get where you are now, will be the very mountain to put you where you need to be!  That is how good God is!!!  Thank you Jesus!!!

Have a blessed day dear friends...
