Faith My Eyes

Our family is getting very close to entering into the world of movement launching in Ypsilanti, MI. This is scary, exciting, and generates great opportunities to trust him. Right now is a time when I get to cast vision for the vision that, I think, God has laid out in his scriptures to us.

As we cast this vision we get many questions and many of them I can't really answer. I have come to the conclusion that is OK. I don't have to be able to answer every question. 

Why? That's a great question. 

I think it's OK because at some point in this process we have to yield to faith and trust. We have to believe that God is serious when he makes promises in his scriptures. He means it when he says that he will care for us. It seems to me that we have to come to the place where we can rest on the reality of his promises. 

Contrary to my boy Stuart Smalley: 

I am not good enough (just ask my kids and bride).  I am not smart enough (just ask anyone that hangs out with me). And, if I am really honest with myself "people" don't necessarily like me. 

No, the truth of the matter is that if any of this is to come to pass it will be because the Creator God will have lavished his grace on the community that he is sending us too. This means that faith must be our eyes.
