Believe and Take the Next Step

Reflection

We began this week with a widow who thought she had almost nothing. We watched her recognize the oil, gather jars, and pour. Then we met Hagar in the wilderness. Her water was gone. Her fear was real. And God opened her eyes.

Now we arrive at the question underneath all seven days: Do I believe God?

Hebrews 11:6 tells us that the person who comes to God must believe that He is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.

Maybe your faith doesn't feel enormous today. That's okay. In Mark 9, a father gives us one of the most honest prayers in Scripture: “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.”

Maybe that's where you are. You believe, but you're afraid. You trust God, but you have questions. You want to move, but you don't know exactly how everything will work. Bring Him that.

You don't have to manufacture perfect certainty. You need enough belief for the next faithful step.

Over these seven days, you've looked at what is in your house. You've stopped calling things “just.” You've identified an uncomfortable step. You've considered what it means to pour. You've named a real problem. You've asked God to open your eyes.

Now comes the question: What will you do with what you've seen?
