Thoughts of a sheep in the care of the Good Shepherd focusing on how very good my Shepherd is to me.

Walking by Faith
Imagine being Noah and starting the long task of building the ark. Or Abraham, leaving his homeland and everything that he knew because he was called out by God. Moses, walking back into the Pharaoh's court and wondering, "Did that really happen, or did I dream that?" Better yet, imagine being the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant up to the banks of the constantly flooding Jordan. Sure, Joshua SAID the waters would stop, but it's easier to say that when you don't feel your sandal sinking into the mud. How would you like to be Elijah standing in front of a thrice soaked altar and thinking for that one fleeting moment, "This is either going to be the best moment of my life, or the last!" Peter, stepping out of the boat and finding that the water doesn't give way under your feet? Stepping out of our comfort zone seems to be part of the Lord's prelude to doing something amazing. Where will your feet go today?

Hi Brad. Good stuff again! I love you, dearest.
ReplyDeleteYour blog posts really are SO good. They're so encouraging and consistently grounding. You are someone who I am sure everyone in your life is amazed by, but can't ever really find the words to tell you how amazing you are. The world just wouldn't be the same without you. :*
