In response to my friend, Mr. Brown :)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO ENCOUNTER JESUS? HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO SIT AT HIS FEET?

I feel like, more often than not, I ask God to prove himself to me and what He'll do to meet me where I am. "SEND ME A SIGN, A HINT, A WHISPER!!!" and then we'll talk about me doing what you want. Me first, though. Don't confuse the order.
These thoughts are so elusive and hard to recognize. I can go days thinking this way and then turn around and have the audacity to ask why I'm not receiving anything out of quiet times or devotionals. The truth I fail to realize, time and time again, is that God has already gone before me. He has already done so much more than I can ever deserve and the cross was just the beginning of it all!
Tuesday's scripture reading, Joshua 24, spoke straight into that for me. Over and over God says things like "I TOOK", "I GAVE", "I SENT", "I BROUGHT", "I MADE", "I BLESSED", ECT!!! 17 times in the span of 11 verses, God says, more or less, "I've gone before you".
What's the point?- to prove that God is faithful and that He's already sent us so many signs and so much more than a hint or a whisper. He's acted personally in every one of our lives and He's brought us victory in ways that are humanly impossible.

So, in view of God's eternal grace and humility to go before me and prepare a way for me, how can I ask for anything more... For an eternally faithful God, requires an eternally faithful commitment to serve, to love, to endure and to praise.

How far would you go to sit at His feet?
ANYWHERE HE LEADS, WE WILL FOLLOW!
May we walk in manner worthy of you Lord, to please you in all respects, bearing good fruit in every good work.
