You see, the life God calls us to is not a safe life. Ask Joseph, Abraham, Moses, Deborah, Esther – any of the friends of God from the Old Testament. Ask Mary and Lazarus, ask Peter, James and John, ask Priscilla and Aquila – any of the friends of God in the New Testament.
God calls us to a life involving frequent risks and many dangers. Why else would we need him to be our sustainer? You don’t need a life-saver if your mission is a couch potato. You need an sustainer when your life is in constant danger.
SO WHAT?
I believe that all through history there were two kinds of people who loved God.
The ones who loved, but didn't follow.
And the ones who loved and followed by giving their all. The people above are the people who gave their all, those are the people who God choose to write about in the Bible.
I want to live a life of loving and following God, that God would want to write about.
DO YOU?
