If you’re looking at what’s next and feeling nervous, remember this: What God has done in your life is only the foundation, not the finish line. He’s a creative God, still at work in ways you’re not expecting. Let go of your plan so God can show you His purpose.

We all go through times when we’re looking ahead, and our future looks uncertain. We want clarity, but instead, God gives us the courage to move forward in faith. It’s in these moments we learn not to be driven by what’s easy but to be pulled forward by purpose.
