When it’s time to move 

‘Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’ Hebrews 11:1 KJV 

When your passion for something fades, the grace to accomplish usually goes with it. Does that mean it’s time to leave what you’ve invested so much in? Here are a few thoughts: 1) Get away and rest. Stress-filled minds are not noted for coming up with good answers. Spend time with God. He’s already determined your future (see Isaiah 46:10). 2) You’re not the only one involved. If you don’t know how (or you’re unwilling) to pass the baton to someone who can take things to the next level, you lose, they lose and the dream loses. When you’ve killed your giant, get out of the way and let the next person kill theirs. 3) Don’t just focus on what you’re leaving behind. Think also about what you’re taking with you when you go; like self-worth, wisdom, faith for the next challenge and the joy of knowing you’ve done the will of God. Listen: ‘I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do’ (John 17:4 NIV). Faith is a ‘substance’. You can take it with you wherever you go. It’ll grow in any climate, thrive in any economy and move any mountain. It’s the voice within you that says, ‘I can’t wait to see what God has for me next.’ It’s the greatest evidence that what you can conceive, by God’s help, you can achieve! 

Prayer Point:

Lord, as I focus on pressing forward in the plans You have for my life, help me to really start to take steps towards making those plans a reality. When that means I need help, Lord, let me be humble enough to be a team player, and when that means I may need to re-evaluate things in my life, even if it means making new friends, give me the boldness to do that. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
