My Utmost for His Highest

Hebrews 11:8 (Amplified)
(urged on) by faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go.

Have you ever stepped out in faith like this? One of the hardest questions is "what do you expect to do?" I don't have the answer to that. But I do know that God has everything in control and He knows what He is doing. I need to be constantly examining my attitude toward God to see if I am willing to "go out" in every area of my life, and I need to trust God 100%. When I do this, it keeps me in wonder, never knowing what God will do next. This gives me new opportunities each day to "go out" and build confidence in God." Do not worry about your life....nor your body!" Luke 12;22. This is telling me not to worry about the things that concerned me and made me worry before I ever "went out".
Don't ever ask God what He is going to do, He is not going to tell you. Instead He will reveal to you WHO He is. Do you believe that God is a miracle working God? Will you "go out" in total and complete surrender to Him to the point that you are never surprised by anything He does?
I must believe that God is always the God that I know Him to be when I am nearest to Him. I need to realize how unnecessary and how disrespectful worry truly is!! I must let the attitude of my life be a constant willingness to "go out" in total dependence upon God. In doing this, my life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm that will be satisfying to Jesus. I must learn to "go out" through my own convictions, creeds, or experiences until I come to the point in faith where there is nothing between me and God!!!
