Terry, Good points. There are folk who have stepped outside the security of the boat (Church, security of a job, prestige) given away significant (for them) wealth to follow Christ and walked occasionally on water.
There are moments we all face where mountains only move when we surrender to the Lord's path.
Discernment is part of that. Letting go of our own understanding at times (more laying down our limited intellects) in the face of the impossible is another side.
Somehow it works out that way. One person sows, another waters, and God gives the increase. That's why I try not to overthink what I'm going to work on next. Seems that God causes people to cross paths when it's needed.
“although it would be an act of faith to abandon our livelihood and become a penniless vagrant”
Just because you stop worrying about where your daily bread will come from, it doesn’t mean you have to abandon your job or that you’ll become penniless.
“Your Father knows what things you need before asking Him.”
Also keep in mind the beginning of Luke 11, especially verses 11-13.

Keep fighting the good fight!
Timely, this and your 9/26 post on the acceptance of evil were messages I needed to hear when I needed to hear them.

Not just that. We need to remember that the real harvest is the Lord's work in the spiritual fields, not material fields for our personal benefit.
yes ,,, good God has helped me everywhere ie spiritual and material... thank you good Father in heaven
