My small group is currently going through Steven Furtick's book, "Sun Stand Still." One of the themes in this book surrounds developing and audacious faith.
Essentially, an audacious faith is all about trusting that God will take your ordinary and make it extraordinary. It isn't a cocky or arrogant belief, it's an expectancy that God will come through on His promises.
Many times, we want our faith to be based on perfect circumstances with as little risk as possible. But, God's extraordinary works through ordinary people often involve a lot of risk. For the ordinary person to follow God's commands requires faith while not knowing whether God will come through.
It's taking a chance. A major risk. And, if it's in line with God's heart, we can expect him to turn our ordinary into something really special.
