There’s a scene in one of the Indiana Jones movies where Indy is at the edge of a chasm that is so deep you can’t even see the bottom. To get across the chasm he must take a “step of faith”. He must step forward off the cliff and into the void and have faith that somehow he isn’t going to die. This is the test that most everyone else had failed. Yet, Indiana Jones takes that step of faith and instead of falling to his doom he lands on a narrow strip of land just below the edge. This little bridge was camouflaged so that he couldn’t see it. This is a perfect illustration for what God loves to make us do. He puts us in situations that seem impossible. Situations that we can’t possibly understand how things are going to be okay. Why does God do this? Why does He keep putting us in impossible situations with no explanation and no clue how on earth He is going to take care of everything? After all, He could provide another job for you BEFORE asking you to quit. He could show you the source of money before asking you to commit to taking a mission trip. He could give you extra money before asking you to give your paycheck to someone who needs it. He could show you the place he has for you before asking you to move. He could share with you His plan before asking you to make a tough decision. But, He doesn’t. He almost never does! Why?
