Have you ever “parked” on the shore of life? Most of us have at one time or another. Parking gets us nowhere fast. Sometimes we simply need to step into the water.

Taking that first step can be difficult but it gives us momentum and speaks of a decision to move forward. Stepping into the water can also say, “God I need You”.

When we get off the shore, we are trusting God to move us by the wind of His Spirit. God has a specific direction He wants us to go in – the direction that will lead us to the plan and purpose He has created for us. When we allow Him to lead us, we step out on the adventure of our lives!

Choosing to “park” causes the days, weeks, months, and sometimes years to drift by leaving us empty and unfulfilled.

Don’t be afraid to take that step. Don’t think for a moment that God’s plan for your life isn’t the very best. You may not be able to see it but it’s big and glorious. Don’t settle for what you see on the shore. Dare to step into the water.
