I believe that God has called each of us to a specific place, at a specific time, for a specific reason. Are you being obedient?
I don’t say that because we uprooted our family and moved to Utah away from our church, all of our family and all of our friends. I say that because OBEDIENCE must trump COMFORT. And I am certainly not obedient in every area, so hold your Amen’s.
If our love of Jesus isn’t more than family, friends, and geography, we are destined to fail. It has been one huge struggle after another for us in our move, but we KNOW God has called us here…to live and move and have our being.
And of course we are big fans of GOING WHERE NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO GO. That’s why we created and gather for THE STICKS. Read this:
“26From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” Acts 17.26-28 [niv]
Are you living where you should be living? Are you comfortable? Or are you scared to step out in faith?
