Leap of Faith

     Leapfrog. Lords a leaping. Leap into the air. And of course today is leap year. But my favorite, leap is leap of faith.
     Yesterday we did some leaping. And running and grunting and groaning. And laughing and smiling.   We played tennis again. Young vs Old. We had so much fun!  Yes. I was on the Old side. But we did alright. We won four games....out of like 24. But at least we won some!
     I noticed while we were playing that my mind would leap around occasionally. Like when I heard the ice cream truck. I just knew we had played hard enough for a treat. But no one even seemed to hear me when I announced the ice cream truck over and over.  That's what I get for playing with a bunch of competitive guys.
     My doubles partner made an amazingly wonderful observation. He loves playing basketball. But he said playing tennis was much more fun because he got to play with us!  Awww.....
     But on to that leap of faith. Ever want something so badly you just didn't know what to do?  You knew it was right. You had prayed and prayed. It was in line with the Scriptute. But it just didn't look like it was going to happen.
     Leap of faith.  Believing something you can't see. Trusting God for something that the world would call impossible. Guess what. God can do anything!  In fact, Jesus said it!
      Jesus looked straight at them and answered, “This is impossible for human beings, but for God everything is possible.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:26‬ ‭
     There is absolutely nothing God canNOT do!  Sure you may have some sore muscles. You may be very tired from leaping. You may turn your ankle (yeah I did that yesterday too). You might even almost miss your step and feel like you're falling off a cliff instead of landing safely.
     But trust Him!  Take the leap of faith. God doesn't give you the desire without providing a way to achieve it. And absolutely nothing is impossible for my God!
