Hebrews 11:6New Life Version (NLV)
6 A man cannot please God unless he has faith. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is. That one must also know that God gives what is promised to the one who keeps on looking for Him.
Jeremiah 29:11New Life Version (NLV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for well-being and not for trouble, to give you a future and a hope.
Our bodies are very much like a rubber band. The Law of the Rubber Band, states that "Growth Stops When You Lose the Tension Between Where You Are and Where You Could Be.”
When at the gym, I stretch before and after a workout so that I get the full potential that I can get from a workout. If there is no stretching, I’m not growing and most likely I will feel pain. If you feel more pain, then you will be less likely to move. If you are less likely to move, you will stop challenging yourself. You will potentially stop growing.
In life, we have situations that we know, without a doubt, we are being stretched. We may also be in a season of life where we don’t feel the tension, but feel a slight tug pulling us to learn something new. Below is a list of ways God may want you to stretch your faith today:
• God may want you to DO something.
• God may want you to STOP DOING something.
• God may want you to GIVE something.
• God may want you to SAY something.
• God may want you to STOP SAYING something.
• God may want you to SELL something.
• God may want you to BUY something. (presumably for a person or ministry in need)
• God may want you to START something.
• God may want you to END something.
• God may want you to LOVE someone.
