Free To Choose: My Father Will Not Let Me Fall

Paul Luckett | Brainflurry.com - Free To Choose: My Father Will Not Let Me Fall

Very often I just want God to tell me what to do, step by step so that I don’t make a mistake.

But what God wants me to do is grow in His image.

And my choices are an opportunity to exercise His life in me—to love Him with my whole being: my heart, my soul and including my mind.

My Father wants me to skip, flip, run and jump—looking to Jesus as what’s possible, and to see where I can grow.

So, I will spread my wings for Him, and decisively take risks while looking to Him, trusting that He is ultimately guiding me.

We are free to choose in faith. Our Father will not let us fall.

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
To God our Savior,
Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and power,
Both now and forever.
Amen.”
— Jude 1:24-25

Dealing With Feelings Of Failure

I don’t feel like I’m doing a great job, right now.

It’s a good thing that the work my Father has called me to do isn’t about good, better, or best in a moment in time.

It’s about finishing.

“But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”
— Matthew 24:13

If I can just continue in His process to the end, I will be perfected. I will become the finished product, identical to the Picture according to His plan.

“being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”
— Philippians 1:6

So, if all I can do is take another step, I press. And, if I can’t even do that, I look to Him and I trust.
