Go for it

Acts 19: 11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul,

          The first electric light was so dim that a candle was needed to see its socket. One of the first steamboats took 32 hours to chug its way from New York to Albany, a distance of 150 miles. Wilbur and Orville Wright's first airplane flight lasted only 12 seconds. And the first automobiles traveled 2 to 4 miles per hour and broke down often. Carriages would pass them with their passengers shouting, "Get a horse!" That Chinese proverb is so meaningful that, The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.

When Apostle Paul landed up in Ephesus with a passion to evangelize, it was indeed an uphill task. But that did not disappoint him or kept him thinking over the magnanimity of the problem. He was  quick to be sensitive to the Spirit’s leading and started doing all that he can. Soon God started doing great things through him and many were touched by the power of God. It all began because Paul responded to God’s call and went about fulfilling his ministry.

Often we are paused and down because of the height and breadth of the problem in our lives. Instead of working on it, we are stuck only thinking and discussing about the problem and not the solution. As we take a step of faith, God will surely do miracles which we do not expect or even deserve. But HE is a good God and HE loves us. Go for it.
