Faith Has Feet

Did you know despite its gift of leaping high and long – the impala can easily be contained in a zoo behind a three-foot-high wall?

Across the African reservations, impalas run freely, jumping farther than thirty feet and clearing over ten feet high. So how does a short wall stop the impala from leaping?

Because the impala won’t make the jump into what it cannot see. The animal remains trapped in self-imposed limitations simply because of its inability to take a leap of faith.

Faith is kinda like that. Because we lack faith, we stay stuck behind walls of fear, doubt, insecurity, and self-preservation. Faith isn’t functional until it’s an action. It involves your feet, not your feelings.

Faith is acting like God is telling the truth. We run, jump, and free-fall when we hear His word without having to see it first to know it is true.
