We’ve been in a series throughout the month of October called Moving Your Life Forward. I meet too many people who are “stuck” in life - not living in or moving toward the incredible plan God has for them. Why? There are so many reasons to name, but here’s a simple, big-picture formula that I want to talk about over the next few days…

Principles + Faith + Obedience

(1) Principles = “I see it” - this is the “ah-hah” phase. We see something in God’s Word that gives us insight and understanding into our life, our situation.

(2) Faith = “I believe it” - this is a critical step because it’s pretty clear in the Bible that we’ve got to have faith if we’re going to please God (Hebrews 11:6) and move forward. So we see the principle, but then we have to mix in our faith.

(3) Obedience = “I do it” - this is where we close the gap because seeing and believing won’t totally get it done. We’ve got to do it. Faith without works is dead.

Think about your life - Are you stuck financially? Are you stuck in a dead-end job? Is your life moving forward? Take this little formula and lay it down right on top of that situation that’s stuck.

We’ll go deeper tomorrow.
