Moving Forward In Faith
Faith moves forward in obedience even when the outcome is uncertain, trusting God with the results.
Scripture
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also: now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
