"The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith." 

"Take the first step.

Sometimes we’re waiting on God to show us the plan, to show us every step, to give us complete clarity about the future, but what God would often say is: “Take the first step and watch what I do.”

“Take the first step and when you move you will see me move.”

In the book of Joshua, when they come to the river Jordan, God says: Put your foot in the river and then the water upstream will stop flowing.”

If it had been me, I would have said: “Why don’t you stop the water and then I’ll put my foot on the dry riverbed?”

But God says - that’s not the way it works.

When you take action, when you show faith, when you demonstrate that you want to move forward, God will come in behind you and He will light the way before you. He will open things up.

But if you’re sitting passively waiting on Him to do something, you will stay stuck where you are.

I have found that action brings clarity. Action brings clarity.

And action moves the hand and heart of God.

Because faith moves the hand and heart of God.

So if you are feeling stuck today, take the next step.

It might not be a big step.

It might not be a momentous step.

It may seem like an insignificant step to you or others.

But take a step.
Put your foot in the river.
And see what God opens up before you."
