Are You Walking in Faith or Fear? Claiming God’s Promises for Your Journey

In the quiet moments of your life, when you think about your future, what do you feel? Is it a sense of peace and excitement, or is it a knot of anxiety and fear? It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the ‘“what ifs’“ of life. What if I fail? What if I make the wrong choice? What if I’m not good enough?

I want to speak a powerful truth into your heart today: You serve a God of promises. The journey of your life is not a random series of events; it is a divinely orchestrated path, and God has already made incredible promises to you about that journey. He has promised to position you for success, to lead and guide you, and to ensure that your journey, while not always easy, will be successful in His eyes.

But here is the key: you have to believe it. You have to claim those promises for your own life.

In Progress Toward Purpose, the principle of Spirituality-The Answer to it All is about more than just going to church. It’s about building a resilient faith that can withstand the storms of life. It’s about knowing, deep in your spirit, that God is for you, not against you.

The Bible is filled with God’s promises for you. Jeremiah 29:11 says, ‘“For I know the plans I have for you,’“ declares the Lord, ‘“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’“ This isn’t just a nice sentiment; it is a binding promise from the Creator of the universe. He has a plan for you, and it is a good plan.

The principle of Purpose-The Why of It is about discovering that very plan. Your purpose is not something you have to invent; it is something you uncover as you walk with God. He has already laid out the path. Your job is to trust Him, listen for His guidance, and take the next step in faith.

Think about it this way: if you were going on a long journey, you would want a map and a guide. God is both. He is your map, providing direction through His Word and the whispers of the Holy Spirit. And He is your guide, walking beside you every step of the way. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, ‘“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.’“

He will make your paths straight. That is a promise. It doesn’t mean there won’t be twists and turns, but it means He will always lead you back to the right path. He will always be there to redirect you, to correct you, and to cheer you on.

So, what fears are holding you back today? What doubts are keeping you from stepping into the promises of God?

In the Progress Toward Purpose program, we don’t just talk about these promises; we learn how to live in them. We develop the spiritual habits and the unshakeable faith needed to move from a life of fear to a life of purpose. We learn to trust that God’s plan is always better than our own.

Your successful journey is not a question of if, but when. It begins the moment you decide to let go of fear and take hold of His promises. Are you ready to claim your miracles?
