It runs against everything within us: faith in action.
When God leads us to do something we typically want to know the outcome of the thing before we come into the thing. Ducks alined, monies saved, clothes ironed. We want it all in place before obedience is released.
But God's leading often flies in the face of the things we dearly esteem. We have to be prepared to live with that.
He does that to stretch our faith, not to mock the things we esteem. Is is always about the business of building up, never tearing down. That's why he makes it so we cannot know the end of the thing at the beginning of the thing. It makes it "living" that way.
