“When he was in Africa, David Livingstone received a letter saying, ‘We want to send helpers. Have you found a good road into your area yet?’ Livingstone wrote back, ‘If they only want to come when there’s a good road, don’t send them. I want people who’ll come when there’s no road!’ Surrounded by 5,000 hungry people, Jesus told his disciples, ‘You give them something to eat.’ It seemed impossible, but when they obeyed they witnessed a miracle. One writer says, ‘Christ will lead you into seemingly impossible situations…don’t avoid them. That’s where you’ll experience God…If you attempt only things you know are possible with the resources you possess…you’ll receive the credit and God will have no part in it….Have you received a word that awaits your next step of faith? Proceed, no matter now incredible it seems. You’ll experience the joy of seeing God perform a miracle, and so will those around you”.
