Welcome to Friday. This week we have looked at moving on with change, with God in charge and with expectancy. To wrap it up, we are going to look at moving on in faith.
We play a game sometimes at Activate called 'trust falls'. Most people want to watch but not play. Its simple, a person stands on a ladder and falls backwards into the arms of the waiting catchers. You can't see them and once you realise there is a problem it's too late.
Every time we play this, people want to keep doing it because they get a buzz out of it. Everyone gets caught, even me. But there is never a rush of volunteers to go first.
All the things we have thought about this week have an underlying theme of God's support and today is a wrap up of the things we have looked at over the week. Another word for support is faith.
Faith is what we rely on when there is nothing else to rely on. It's not a rational thing in my opinion and many people dismiss the idea of having faith, generally because they have not tried, or whatever they have had faith in, it has failed.
In God, we have the ultimate. Whilst I have never seen God reviewed in "Which?" magazine, I am pretty sure he would be rated as a best buy. I would like to think that the various consumer tests devised for God would be 100% (N.B. putting God to the test is not recommended). I would also expect there to be no weaknesses or faults to report.
It is in God that we place our faith, and He promises to deliver. In moving on, it is God that is there 'for the journey' (not a black horse). The need to move on is about progress. The need to progress is to build the Kingdom. It is the Kingdom that moving on is all about.
Have a great weekend.
