GOING FOR IT By Sally I. Kennedy

"Take charge! Take heart! Don't be anxious or get discouraged. God, my God, is with you in this 1 Chronicles 28:20

Shoot the Falls! The cry of the brave ones, up at the top of the waterfall. Kayaks were poised in position, with college kids were queing up to ride down the rapids.

I thought of how cool this was, and then thought of how it really is like anything we take on.

Maybe you would

1. Prepare. - ahead of time. Not last minute. It took noah awhile fo build the ark, wouldn't have worked to start building it when it started raining

2. Wait for the right conditions - GOD opens the door, his timing is the perfect timing.

3. Have support - prayer support, and scripture that lines up in agreement with our actions.

Then you could

4. Be confident: - know that God has gone before you. It is He who actually puts the desire in you, as well as helps you perform it and He will have gone ahead of you: (Phil. 2:13 it is God who works in you, (both) to will and to act according to his good purpose. )

And then

5. Go for it - after all, God will have gone ahead of you (Deut. 31:6) So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you."

So, whatever "it" is.... prepare, wait on God's timing, get support, be confident, and GO FOR IT!
