Step Out In Faith
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
-- Hebrews 11:1
This verse has been on my mind a great deal this week. HIS Radio (94.3 in Dothan) is having its annual Friendraiser. It's a really big deal because the radio station ended last year with a deficit. This fundraising event can mean the radio station stays on the air -- or not.
I've given money to the station off and on for a couple of years. I give what I feel I can, when I feel I can. I've resisted giving a monthly amount. My income is irregular at best. As an artist, there are months when things are great and months when there is nothing coming in. I've learned to plan for that. Why, then, am I so hesitant to commit to contributing monthly to a Christian radio station I love?
All the what-ifs crowd my mind. What if I don't have enough money? What if I have to choose between the radio station and health insurance? What if??? It sounds silly even as I write this. I believe strongly that God is calling me to do this. If that's true, He'll provide the money. No need to worry.
The radio station announcers call this stepping out in faith. God blesses those who give to Him and there is no doubt in my mind that this radio station ministry belongs to Him. He will make sure I have the money I need each month to take care of necessities and give to HIS radio.
I know God will provide. So why is it so scary to step out in faith? I can't see the future. I don't know what is headed my way. I'm afraid of what may or may not happen. God knows what lies ahead. And He promises to take care of me and never, ever leave me. God always keeps His promises. Now, He'll make sure I keep mine.
