call it human nature... call it making excuses... call it a fear of commitment... call it what you want, but i think that there is an epidemic, a problem that plagues north american christians... (obviously i am being very general and not specific here)
i am reminded of a talk talk that we had in september during our foundations series where the disciples were crossing the sea of galilee on a boat (because that is what you cross water in) and jesus had gone beneath to sleep and a storm had hit and the disciples FREAKED out! they were literally scared for their lives. they go beneath and wake jesus, he comes up and calms the wind, the rain, the waves, the storm and turns and looks at his disciples and questions their faith... "you of little faith, why do you doubt."
i think the epidemic that plagues us, that plagues me is to trust me, ourselves more and before we trust him.
it seems as though we get scared or tentative about the journey... about the price that it costs to follow him.
friend... where is your faith?
are you sacred or tentative?
IS HE ENOUGH?
IS HE OR IS HE NOT?
stay the course... run the race... there is light...
