African Impala

I read that an African Impala can jump 10 feet high and cover as much as 30 feet in a single bound. That’s some impressive leaping ability! Yet a zoo can keep an Impala enclosed with just a 3 foot high wall because they won’t jump if they can’t see where they’re going to land.

Part of the definition of faith is trusting in what we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”

When is the last time you or your church took a leap of faith? We like to quote 2 Corinthians 5:7—“We live by faith, not by sight.” However, we often practice the opposite and live by sight, not by faith.

Don’t live your life inside a self-made enclosure that limits your ability to influence people for the Lord. Take a leap of faith!
