When the Leap of Faith Doesn’t Land When You Think it Will | Ep. 011
What happens when you take a leap of faith, but you don’t end up where you expected? In today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse continues her discussion of “quantum leaps,” and offers encouragement to those of us who have taken a leap, but don’t feel as if we’ve landed in the promise just yet. It’s easy to become discouraged when we take a risk or pursue change, especially when we find ourselves in a period of “hang time,” waiting for the fruit to show itself. If you find yourself in this situation now or in the future, Charisse gives the following advice:
- The patience that is required in the waiting is often harder than the strength it takes to make the first step
- The growth that is taking shape in the “hang time” is what you will need to sustain the promise that God has prepared you for
- A period of waiting can often feel isolated and lonely, but remember that God is always walking alongside you — and you are not the only person feeling that way
- If the promise at the end of your leap of faith isn't your idea of “good,” return to the Lord and ask for clarity and direction
For some of us, if we knew how long it would take to get to our promised land, we wouldn’t ever want to let go of the edge. If you are experiencing a major life change or are contemplating taking a quantum leap, remember that if God has asked you to take that first step, He will be with you through it.
