Take a step of faith
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
- Hebrews 11:1
Taking a step of faith is not easy. We feel God calling us to do something, but we don’t know what the outcome will be. The problems seem enormous, and fear tries to hold us back. But when we take a step of faith, God moves. He honors our faith and helps us achieve the impossible.
Young David took a great step of faith and defeated the giant Goliath. David knew that by his own strength or merit, he could accomplish nothing. But he had great faith in God and His power. He knew that Goliath had no chance against the Almighty God. That’s why David could boldly declare to Goliath:
David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
- 1 Samuel 17:45–46
Strengthen your faith today and move forward under God’s direction. You’ll see that when you take steps of faith in the name of the Lord and according to His will, you’ll feel His peace in your heart and the assurance that He is at work.

Do you share what God has done for you?
We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
- 1 John 1:3
Have you ever stopped to think about all that God has done for you? There are so many things God does for us and within us every single day. He not only sent Jesus to die on the cross for you and me so that we could have salvation and eternal life, but each day He lifts us up, provides for us, encourages us, and does countless other things on our behalf.
If you want others to come to Jesus and experience His goodness in their lives, share what He does for you daily. Did you feel better after someone prayed for you? Share that testimony with your family, friends, and coworkers. Did you receive some extra money or food at a critical moment? Tell others how God provided for you.
When you declare what God is doing for you, you strengthen your own faith, encourage your fellow believers, and impact others with the testimony of the living God who is working in you and in your circumstances. Lift up your voice and testify about what God is doing in your life. Help build up the Lord’s church and expand His Kingdom.
The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
- Psalm 126:3

Remember the wonders and goodness of God in your life
A good exercise to do when we find ourselves in the midst of difficult times is to remember the wonders God has done for us. Do you remember a time when you didn’t have enough money to buy something basic, but a friend helped you with a small amount? You were able to buy what you needed, and little by little, you overcame the financial hardship.
5 When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;
he brought me into a spacious place.
6 The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
7 The Lord is with me; he is my helper.
- Psalm 118:5-7a
When we go through hard times, it may feel like that season will never end. That’s why it’s good to look back and remember the many times we experienced God’s goodness. He blesses us constantly and in many ways. Let’s recall His wonders and His benefits today!
Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare.
- Psalm 40:5
Make a list of the wonders God has done for you over the past month. Remember His care and kindness, and how He helped you move forward. Lift up a song of gratitude and praise, for the Lord is good and always will be.
