DAY 9 OF 21

Greater Faith & Rest

It‘s important to know there are two different kinds of pressures you will encounter in this growth process. One kind is from God and the other is not. You can recognize them by the direction in which they push you. God is always going to be inviting, nudging, and challenging you to step into greater faith and rest.

The Enemy, however, is going to push you to step into fear and ungodly striving by trying to make things happen in your timing and through your own wisdom and effort rather than God‘s. Faith is found in rest, and the Enemy will do anything to get you to buy into his pressure so you will be taken out of rest. Learning to resist pressure that is not from God is key to faithful stewardship.

About this Plan

Rooted

As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots--prayer, service, and community.
