We Do Not Control The Future
He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
(Ecclesiastes 11:4 ESVST)
There are always reasons to procrastinate, delay a project, seek more information, consider other options, or wait for ideal circumstances.
Those who do not start cannot finish. There are countless stories of individuals who began journeys where the eventual destination was clear, but the path was blurry.
We need to remember that we cannot control future circumstances and that the One who can loves us and wants us to live in a way that demonstrates who He is and how He works.
To do that, we need to live in a way that allows life's current circumstances to have no real controlling factor over us or our decisions. Instead, we focus on the end result, and often, God uses the lack of clarity to allow us and others to see Him clearly.
There are many reasons to remain in a place you consider safe, and one overwhelming reason to consider starting something so big that God alone could be credited for its accomplishment.
