One of my favorite movies scenes is from Indiana Jones #3 when Indy’s father has been shot and he must pass the three tests.  My favorite test of the three is when Indy comes to the end of the cave and must take a leap of faith into a big cavernous hole.  When he does he steps onto an up-to-that-point hidden walkway.   That step of faith led him across the big hole into a cave where the treasure (the cup of Christ) resided.  Indy would have missed the treasure if he had failed to take that step of faith (some might call it a leap of faith).  Here is something to think about:

I love the recklessness of faith.  First you leap, and then you grow wings.  William Sloan Coffin

Much of what we do as Christ-followers involves steps, even leaps, of faith. Trusting when the end result is not seen. Trusting when everything within us says, “No way!”  Trusting when everyone around us thinks we are nutty as a fruitcake. But the real truth is that when God says, “Move” or “Go here” the only real obedient option is to do so.  Even when it appears to be a whacked move.  Sometimes following God’s calling on your life means taking that leap/step of faith.

What about you?  Have you taken any steps of faith recently that defied logic?  Have you done anything for God lately that had people shaking their heads in disbelief?  I would like to hear from you.
