Man’s steps are ordered by the Lord. How then can a
man understand his way?
—Proverbs 20:24
When Dave and I sensed God calling us to begin a
television ministry, we began to take steps in that direction by faith. We
could not do it without money, so the first thing we did was write to the
people on our mailing list, asking friends and ministry partners to give
financially toward helping us start a television ministry. We felt God had
spoken to our hearts concerning a certain amount of money we would need to
begin, and that amount is exactly what we received.
We then took another step. We needed a producer and
God provided. A man had applied for a job as a television producer three months
before God spoke to us about being on television. Since we were not on
television we told him we would not need his services. When the time came, we
remembered that man and realized that God had met our need before we even knew
we had one.
The next step we took was to buy time on a few
stations once a week. As the programs paid for themselves and we saw good fruit
from them, we bought more time. Eventually we went on daily television and now
have a daily program that airs around the world and, prayerfully, is helping
millions of people.
God led Dave and me one step at a time and that is
how He will lead you. Every time we took a step of faith, God gave us favor,
and I encourage you to expect favor also. God already knows your needs and He
has your answer, so when fear knocks on your door, answer with faith and you
will do great things.
God's word for you today: Be
confident that God is leading you and giving you favor.
