Have you ever thought about how one small step of faith could create a lasting impact? It’s like tossing a stone into a pond—the ripples stretch far beyond that first splash, affecting everything in their path. In the same way, when we take a step of faith, even a small one, God uses it to create ripples that can change lives, starting with our own.
Throughout the Bible, we see examples of people whose simple acts of obedience led to incredible outcomes. Take Peter, for example, who stepped out of the boat onto the water when Jesus called him. It was one step of faith, but it changed everything for him. Or Joshua, who led the Israelites into the Promised Land, trusting God’s word even though the path ahead was unknown. These acts of faith didn’t just affect them—they created ripples that influenced others for generations.
So what does this mean for us today? It’s a reminder that we don’t have to wait for perfect conditions or an absence of fear to take a step of faith. Often, God calls us to act in the midst of uncertainty, trusting that He will provide as we move forward. Jesus promised in Matthew 28:20, "I am with you always," and that promise holds true for us today. When we step out in faith, we’re not alone—God is with us, guiding our steps and expanding His kingdom through us.
What step of faith is God asking you to take? Maybe it’s something simple, like committing to regular prayer, sharing your faith with a friend, or volunteering in a new ministry. Perhaps it’s giving generously, even when it feels uncomfortable, trusting that God will provide. Or maybe He’s calling you to go—whether that’s serving in your community or going on a mission trip. Whatever it is, remember that your small step of obedience can create ripples that extend far beyond what you can see.
I encourage you to ask yourself, “Where is God asking me to pray, give, or go?” When you commit to taking that step, you open the door for God to use you in ways that could change lives—starting with your own.
