Dear Friends,
What if? It’s the question I keep asking myself.
What if Noah had caved to the mockery and hadn’t built an ark? What if David had felt embarrassed to volunteer and hadn’t fought Goliath. What if the widow had given into fear and hadn’t fed Elijah?
As Christians, we are faced with what ifs every day. And if we stay paralyzed with fear or doubt, we never know what God could have done through us. He constantly calls us. He doesn’t want us to live life in fear, regret, or doubt. Rather, He continually invites us into His ridiculously amazing plans. If we will listen.
God not only gave Noah specific instructions for the ark, but He gave him time and means to complete it before sending rain. God not only gave David a notion to fight a giant, but He was with David as he hurled the sling. God not only sent Elijah to ask the widow to make him bread but provided so that the widow and her son never went hungry again.
Friends, we need to understand that God does ridiculous things. He loves choosing people and circumstances where we all marvel and say, “That was the hand of God. Because I know that scrawny teenager didn’t just kill that giant.” And we need to believe that God still does ridiculous things.
Beginning tomorrow and spanning over a few weeks, I will be sharing entries from a series of writing entitled “Walk with Me.” In these posts I will recount to you the ridiculously awesome things God has been doing in the life of our family. My prayer is that God will stir within you as you read, for He wants to write an equally faith-filled chapter in your life.

From days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him. ISAIAH 64:4
