What If?
What if we stopped living our lives in safe little boxes?
What if we stopped putting our hope in nest eggs?
and 401k’s
and stable jobs
and good real estate
and contingency plans
and people?
What if we stopped putting our God in safe little boxes?
What if we stopped living a life that was natural and replaced it with a supernatural life?
What if we stopped living with expectations that are within our own limitations and instead lived with expectations without limit?
What if we got to the edge of the cliff… and we jumped off…
not into a safety net,
just into God’s big capable hands?
What if we stopped doing “church” in a way that works whether there is a God or not?
What if we stopped living our life in such a way that works whether there is a God or not?
What if we stopped worshipping a God that looks like us,
that we can understand and figure out
and instead started worshipping a God that is full of mystery and power and incomprehensible love?
What if we started walking with God instead of asking Him to walk with us?
What if we were completely surrendered and totally abandoned to Jesus’ work and call in our life? With no regard to the cost?
What if the things of this earth really did grow dim…in the light of His Glory and Grace?
What if?
Awesome Shayla! The answer to these What if’s is that we would begin to experience living from glory to glory. Great blog and excellent questions.
Glory to glory!!!! So true! love it!
LOVE It! I am on the edge of another cliff!
“What if we stopped doing “church” in a way that works whether there is a God or not?”…dangerous place to be…
What if we stopped living according to the Babylonian system, and lived according to & trusted God’s mysterious ways? Good stuff, Shay!
First time reading your blog; good stuff!! What if we started walking with God instead of asking Him to walk with us? Good ‘what if?’ We humans think we are in control when in reality control is just an illusion that we think we have. God knows the way so it’s so silly of us to try to lead the way when we have no idea where we are going. Thanks for proposing the questions and keep writing!
