It's Time To Step Out Of Preconceptions and To Trust God Fully ... (August 1, 2015)

Stepping out is not always easy to do.   When you step out, it means you are going outside of your preconceived borders.   When something is preconceived, it is an opinion or idea that has been formed before having the evidence for its truth or usefulness.    It is based on assumption.   How often do we assume that we have safety in people, places, and things and eventually end up disappointed or confused when what we see as a safety net fails to be so?

It's time to step out of our preconceptions and to trust God completely and totally with our lives.   It's time to step out and walk in faith concerning every aspect of our lives.    It's time to move forward in life and to stop allowing our past outcomes to keep us restrained in our thinking, acting, and trusting.   Our thinking has to be based on God's Word for us to step out fully and confidently.  We have to know that He said for us to keep our minds stayed on Him and He will keep us in perfect peace.    We have to know that everything we do in word or deed, we are to do all of it in the name of Jesus.   We also have to know that we are to trust God completely and fully and we are not to lean to our own understanding.
