I serve a Great God. A Mighty God. A God that is constantly active in my life – molding me to look more like Jesus. Challenging me to think and act more like Him. Requiring more risk…more faith… more of His strength. And I’ve been given the reward of being able to cross over – into new places – of new depths. And the cycle continues with each season He takes me through.
It’s easy to get caught up in the comfort and familiarities of life. To believe that what got us here will carry us forward. To enjoy the journey at a pace that requires simple steps.
At some point though, we will face challenge – be given a new goal. One that will require a commitment of risk… of faith… and of strength. A commitment that says “I will trust in You, Lord and lean not on my own understanding”. A commitment that declares “This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it”. A commitment that whispers “Teach me Your ways Lord and lead me down right paths”.
And the rewards? We get to grow. We get to cross over into new places – into new depths of life as He meant for us to walk in. And best of all, we get to be His finger print on those around us.
