Have I shared the scripture that I feel God is using to speak to me at this point of my life? I think I have, but if you don't remember or if I really haven't, it's Genesis 12:1: "Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you." With the main part for me being GO, because it tells me to keep moving toward what I'm being called to. I don't have a clue where I'm going, how I'm going to get there or what it's going to look like when I do get there, but God says, "Go," so that's what I'm doing.
Then I sit down to do my devotion this morning, and I pick up Dr. Stanley and the scripture for the day is Genesis 12! How is that possible? Not that I really need to know how—but how? You blow my mind, God! I'm grateful for it and stand in awe that you would take the time to speak to me personally—but dang! Then in my other book, Streams in the Desert, they are talking about desiring only what God's hands have planned for you—waiting patiently while seemingly starving to death, with your only fear being that your faith might fail. "This is the victory that has overcome the world." This is genuine faith indeed.
