Notes in my journal from
Sunday’s message by Ken Morgan:
“When does God ever ask us to do anything logical? There is a fine line between faith and
stupidity and that line is Jesus.”
We won’t live a life of daring
faith if we talk ourselves out of responding to the unexpected (and usually
uncomfortable) requests to step forward.
We can always find a reason to say no. He’s looking for the one who will dare to say yes.
The term “crosswalk” may need to
take on a new meaning. Instead of
it being the marked safe place to get around without injury, it might be better
thought of as the place where miracles will happen if we will walk with the
same abandonment and unbounded obedience that He was willing to walk, the
places that change lives when we will do the costly thing. We pay a small price to find the
treasure He has waiting.
The only way I can live a life
of faith is to start taking the first steps of following Him. My spirit, if it desires to be willing,
will begin to recognize the nudges.
Coax yourself to respond.
We can do it. Sure, it’s a
battle, but free will is the ability within us to say yes.
