What are you believing God for?
Do you trust God enough to take Him at His word?
Not only for your neighbor or friend..., but for you?
Saturday Steps of Faith is our opportunity to publicly claim His promises for our lives. It is the place where we believe God for things great and small.
Since last Saturday's Beth Moore Simulcast I have been just pleasantly stuck on Psalm 37. I guess maybe for the first time I realized that God truly does delight in me. Doesn't that sound crazy for someone who has been a believer for 36 years?
4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.This week there has been such joy in my heart as I truly took delight in my God. And at the same time I realized that while I was taking delight in God, He was taking delight in me. Before long my heart would find itself having a delight-fest going on. That reciprocal delight made my heart feel like it was overflowing. I can't hardly put it into words.
23 If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
This week I am believing God for the desires of my heart. Those things in the past that I was too afraid to believe could actually be. I am no longer willing to hold back. I Believe God! I believe His Words are true.
Beth said, "If joy was a smile, delight would be a laugh!" Until my faith becomes sight, I choose to delight in my God - with a smile and a laugh that will make people wonder what I'm up to. It will give me a chance to tell them about my Lord.
How about you? Will you please join me?

I am believing for courage to tell what I couldn't for so many years. I am believing to publish my story and not be afraid for people to know. I am believing to make a difference in the lives of others and give hope to those who feel hopeless and defeated. Sarah
I am looking forward to hearing that message when it comes out on DVD...but I LOVE that psalm...especially v.7!! I need to be still, rest in Him and delight in His presence! He is the joy of my life and the desire of my heart! I am currently trusting HIm to show up in big ways as I begin teaching a bible study I wrote to a group of dear sisters in Christ.
"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great DELIGHT in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17

Lisa, you are such a strong encourager in the WORD of GOD! I'm so grateful to know you online.
GOD is my delight and all that He brings to my life is delightful. I'm grateful to HIM.
Love and hugs dear sister.
I love the part where when you stumble you won't fall. He is so careful to take into account our shortcomings and still love us unconditionally!
God Bless,
Sonya Lee
