TAKING THE JUMP IN YOUR 'SEE NOTHING' DAYS

TAKING THE JUMP IN YOUR 'SEE NOTHING' DAYS

By Collette Conner

Once, I was going through a time of indecision, and God had given me the green light to publish my first book. I had always been a writer, but to publish my work was something new.

I was unsure and doubtful because it was something I had never done. I was uncertain of the process and if I could accomplish it. One day, a shift took place, and I got the courage to take the jump. The decision to jump has opened many doors for me since then. Prayer, the Word of God, and putting trust in Him empowered me to pivot and take a step into my purpose.

There are seasons in our lives when life seems to be uncertain. If you look around today, a lot of people are in that season. The world we live in today looks different than it was just two years ago. You may be wondering when you will see the manifestations of some of the things that have been prophesied to you. You may be thinking, "when will this promise come to fulfillment?" Most of all, many of us do not see the things we have been hoping for. This is what I call the 'See Nothing Days'. When we are in this season of life, we must trust God.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and He will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).

So, you may ask, “How can I move forward in all the things God has instructed me to do, with so much uncertainty?” You may think you have fasted, prayed and studied God’s word and still have not experienced a breakthrough. I assure you that you are not alone; I was once there. I remember asking God, “Father, what should I do? Should I move or should I be still?" The amusing thing was that God had already shown me what to do, but because of the uncertainty I was experiencing, I became doubtful of it.

Have you ever been there? Are you there right now? I encourage you to 'take the jump'. Take the jump into what God has in store for you. Take the jump into what God has equipped you to do. Take the jump over fear.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand"(Isaiah 41:10).
