in
restoring the spirit of adventure the first principle is this, obey
immediately. obey GOD immediately even
when i don’t understand it.
noah,
in hebrews 11 verse 7 (gnt), it was by
faith that made noah hear GOD’s warning about the things in the future that he
could not see. he obeyed GOD and built a boat in which he and his family were saved.
notice the words “saved”
and “obeyed”
because they go together.
imagine
this, what if GOD came to you one day and said, “I don’t like the way the
world’s going. I think I’m going to
start all over. I’m going to flood it
and start over with just your family.
you’re going to build this ship and I’ll bring all the animals and we’ll
get on board together. it’ll be the ride
of your life!” would you believe
that? don’t you think you might have
some questions? some doubts? some considerations? like “where are we going to put the
termites?”
noah
did not doubt, he did not complain, he did not argue, he did not delay. he obeyed immediately even though he didn’t
understand. and he had the adventure of
his lifetime, that’s for sure.
just a
thought from the front porch…
