He looked at them angrily & was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then He said to the man,"Hold out your hand.". So the man held out his hand, & it was restored (Mark 3:5 NLT)
Often times our faith requires us to do something. Here Christ asked the man to hold out his hand. We may be required to start back to school, begin that business, start taking steps to accomplish His purpose. Once we show our faith God is ready to work. For me it has been starting this blog & to let God begin the ministry. God is quite capable of starting it on His own but sometimes He wants us to take those first steps. Sometimes you have to stretch out your hand or step out of the boat. Sometimes it can be scary but that's why it's called faith. He may want you to get your feet wet first. We have a big God Who is there to catch us. He could have asked Jesus why he needed to hold out his hand or if He was sure but instead He just followed Christs direction. Pray, believe, step out, (hold out your hand) & let God do the rest. He might be waiting on you.
