Mara Ellison – Quote of the Day for October 17, 2025

Reflection on Today's Quote from Mara Ellison - October 17th 2025

Insight on Today's Quote

Faith is the courage to act while the outcome is still foggy. It isn’t denial of reality—it’s loyalty to God’s character when the details are unclear. Notice how worry rehearses worst-case scenarios, but faith rehearses God’s faithfulness.

Where are you waiting for “more light” before moving? Perhaps the next step is simpler: pray, obey, and let the light meet you on the way.

Step Up To The Challenge

Pick one area you’ve been hesitating on—an apology, a decision, a small act of generosity.

  1. Pray one honest sentence about it.

  2. Take one concrete step in the next hour (send the message, set the meeting, give the gift).

  3. End the day by writing a two-line gratitude note about what changed when you moved first.
