How interesting, Gentle Reader!
One really can compare the
phrase do something even if it is wrong
with the phrase step out in faith!
You see, there are times in one’s life when one simply must move on, whether the
course ahead is clear or not, whether one is feeling totally prayed up or a bit
shy of the mark. In fact, moving on is frequently the only option in times when
one is so out of it and really missing the point or feeling ambushed and unsure
that the only other option would be that dreaded state called mental paralysis.
Move on like how, you may say? Like this. By the Red Sea,
when the children of Israel saw the Egyptians coming in pursuit of them, they
panicked. They beleaguered Moses for their bad situation crying out to God for
help. Then God said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the children of
Israel to go forward.” (Exodus 14:15, NKJV)
There are times to quit praying, Gentle Reader, put the matter in God’s
hands, step out in faith and let God bless one! That’s real move-on know-how. In
other words, people do not need to know all the answers all the
time---especially with God and in practical matters. So, the two phrases are
alike; though step out in faith is, of course, the morally superior concept. Yet,
both concepts do indeed deal with moving on in paralyzing situations.
