As I was listening to the last talk in the “Go” series, I started to realize that each time God had orchestrated a “GO” situation in my life, He was really asking me: Do you trust Me? Do you choose Me above all else?
Above fear.
Above uncertainty.
Above comfort.
Above reputation.
God wants us to answers those questions with a Yes in our heart to GO and do whatever it is we feel He is asking of us. When He asks us to talk with a neighbor, to invite that person into our faith and community, He is really saying: Do you choose me over your own momentary discomfort to approach this person and invite them into the larger story with you? I think all of us would say yes, if God were asking us that question face to face. We would say yes with our mouths. I think God is asking us to say yes with our hearts and translate that YES in to GO. The awesome thing about it is God will never ask you to go alone. If we say yes and choose Him above all else, He has promised to walk there with us….. and I would even bet that there would be a few LPV-ers that would walk along with you.
I say yes. I choose God above all else. I will pray for boldness to talk to the woman who sits next to me at work, boldness to not stay silent when faith comes up in conversations outside of church. I will pray for the boldness to dare to GO anywhere God is going, because after all, He is large and in charge….. so I have nothing to be afraid of.
