Choose two, Part II
Did you choose two yesterday?
In case you didn't get a chance to hear's Tim's message, here are the 11 ways to actively live a life of faith, as shown in Genesis 24 (of course, it sounds more inspiring in the context of Abraham, his faithful servant, and Rebekah...but isn't it great these principles resound and teach us all the same, a zillion years later?!)
1. Acknowledge the Lord when faced with a need.
2. Obey the Lord in what you know.
3. Exercise faith in God in what you don't know, believing He will work.
4. Leave room for the Lord not to work (the way you think He might.)
5. Obey the authority God has put in your life right now.
6. Boldly ask God to act through your circumstances.
7. Be wise and focused and compelling in the task God has given you - live intentionally.
8. Give God the glory for all things and every step of the way (not just at the end!)
9. Be kind and hospitable to a stranger (or 6...)
10. Recognize the call of God in your life (so fabulous!)
11. Be willing to leave the familiar and the comfort of what you know for a long journey into the unknown...be open to God's call. Look for ways to give up your convenience and comfort.
Did I say they were daunting? Yes, when confronted with 11 - but just choose 2. I've got a couple good ones. Let me know how God is speaking to you (and how your faith is growing.)
PS I did add "10 minutes a day on the treadmill" - sigh. It didn't feel so bad after the first 8...
