We've all done it, your in a store with your eyes fixed upon the item that you are contemplating buying when all of a sudden it dawns on you to look up. As you look up waiting patiently behind you is someone that is trying to get past the point where you have suddenly stopped. I think many times our christian walk is very similar to the circumstances in the store. We as Christians walk along until our eyes become fixated on something and taken off the one who knows our every circumstance and the very outcome of those circumstances and instead of us stepping aside we in our flesh want to step up to the plate and make the change in our own strength and with our own power. Yes...when Jesus left this earth He told the disciples "you will do even greater things than I" but Jesus also said that he didn't do anything that his Father hadn't told him to do. Having faith is being able to see your circumstances but yet knowing that, that circumstance wasn't placed in your path for you to fix...it was placed there so that by your faith God could show how awesome He is when we allow him to take the wheel. So many times in scripture strong men of faith stood up and said this is what is going to happen. Did they know for a fact that it would indeed happen as they said, NO, they knew that by their faith God would show up in a miraculous way and provide at just the right time for just the right circumstance. God isn't afraid to step back and let us take our attempts at the wheel....but he says, if you'll let me....the steering will be much easier. Its time for those of us that are Christ-followers to step aside and by faith let God move in the way he has been waiting for.
