James 4:13-14 Now listen, you who say, “Today or Tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there,

carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

I have many friends and people that I am around that have their business degree, Masters in this or Doctorate in that, many of them are making hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of dollars. Some are pastors, ministry leaders, most of them running around saying the same statement; “I feel like there is something more, something more I am suppose to be doing, I just don’t know what it is, I feel as though I am wasting my time!”


In the western world we have bought into the lie of Education before Discipleship, we have made money and furthering intellect our God.


The “Wise man” or sage of a person is just as important as a being a “Warrior, a “Lover” or “King”… we must steward and discipline every part of who God made us. But when we put our careers, how many letters we have coming after our name, or our lack of faith before the will of God, we will never be satisfied!


The Lord says in Romans, that
when we move, He moves. All that means is that when we step out in Faith, He will meet us, but it requires a step from us first! Moses “Stretched out his right hand” and the sea parted, Abraham "Lifted the knife", Israelites "Marched" for seven days and the walls fell “
Faith without deeds is dead.” James 2:26


What is God asking you to step out in today? Remember, you are the will of God, you are a mist or as Job would say,
“A breath” Be the will of God today and watch Him meet you, it will be over before we know it! You can never experience it, until you are standing at the Red Sea, and you need it parted…
