Most people don’t truly believe something will happen until it does.

Even a lot of people of faith do not really believe that God will keep His word and that gut instinct will pay off until after it happens. That’s just human nature. We want proof. We don’t usually think something can happen until it does happen. When you step out in faith based on instinct, you should assume that most people won’t believe you can succeed. It doesn’t make them bad people; it means they’ve yet to find that place where faith really is the substance of things unseen. You might even be there yourself and that’s fine. It’s hard to take a risk purely on faith. But ask yourself this: when you look at the people who don’t believe something is possible until it happens, how are they doing in their careers? Are they playing it safe and going nowhere? Are they happy? Are they doing work with meaning and purpose—work that serves God?

I’ll bet the answer to all three questions is no. If you don’t want to be one of those people, perhaps it’s time you trusted your gut completely, without hesitation, and let God show you what He can do in your career and your life. Let this be an exercise in deepening your faith. Look back at the times in your life when God has spoken to you. What happened when you listened? What happened when you acted upon it? Are there any missed opportunities you could learn from? What might the next step of faith look like for you?

I want you to do something right now. Put both of your hands on your stomach and listen for what you hear. What do you hear God saying to you as you listen to your gut? Then after you listen, ask God, “What are You calling me to do?” And whatever answer He reveals, know that it will require faith. You’ve got to believe it before you do it, and then take steps to achieve it even before you know it’s going to work. The reason God hides in your gut is because He wants us to become more proficient in exercising faith because faith is the only thing that makes us acceptable to him (Romans 5:1).
