1 million reasons why you can't. 1 Reason why you can!

Faith. Such an amazing word. Preachers spend years preaching and teaching it. Yet there is always room for more. When I read the Bible I am inspired by the "Nobody's" that God called to step out in FAITH to do ridiculous impossible things. I have come to understand that faith is Ridiculous and doesn't make any sense. Think about Noah building a boat probably bigger than the titanic even though their had never been rain. I bet between himself and his 3 sons there were a million reasons why they couldn't do it, shouldn't do it, or wouldn't do it! But 1 reason why they could...because God said they could, should, and would.
How about David and Goliath? A little teenager vs an 11ft. tall and probably several hundred pound man. Most of us would of had 1 Million reasons why we couldn't, shouldn't, or wouldn't. But David had 1 reason why should. God said he could.
What about Moses leading a few million people across a desert? Are you kidding? No GPS! No Satellite Navigation or MP3 players! Just stinky camels, stinky feet, and sweaty people. Moses had 3 million reason's why he couldn't, shouldn't, or wouldn't! BUT Moses had 1 reason why he should: God said he could!
What is that one thing that you have a million reasons why you couldn't, shouldn't, or wouldn't do? But deep down you know the 1 reason why you can. Because God said you could. Is it a business you've always dreamed of starting and owning? a missions trip to a 3rd world country? Come on I dare you! I double dog dare you to do what God said you could. We will never have a second chance at this life.
