As I’m beginning another great book and I’m loving the insight of Mark Batterson, who talks about how we ought to be good stewards of our opportunities, it makes me reflect on how I view my own. He suggests we have the courage to chase God-sized dreams, and respond with action as we seek God’s will in our lives. Reminds me of John Burke in Soul Revolution talking about how we’ll never know, if we don’t GO. love it. and I love how God gives me the ability, energy and desire to keep going, striving, and having an experience rich life so I can better know who I am in Him. One thing I mention a lot to my YL group is how conforming in this world feels good for a moment, but it’s not where we ought to be necessarily and how many times feeling greatly at odds with how the world is and its messages, is actually when you’re on the right track. I thought Mark Batterson said it so much better though! He said… “The courage to swim against the current will get you where God wants you to go.” I think it’s great to think about what that current entails, and see it when it pulls us in.
great book and I’m only on Chapter 2. If you’re interested you can check it out too. it’s a title you can’t possibly forget. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day.
