Hebrews 11:41 "By faith, I...
If there really were a v.41, I wonder what God would pen about me. About any of us.
Today maybe He would say that by faith I crossed my spiritual jordan and that I have started fresh - that today I'm choosing afresh to walk by faith and not by sight. Maybe He would say that by faith, Dennie has chosen to believe that she really is all that I say that she is and she has determined by My Spirit to believe His Word and to speak His Word in the power that is hers by birthright. He could even say that by faith she has chosen to evict the squatter (the adversary) off of her promised land.
Part of me wants to scream "come with me!" and part of me wants to quietly settle in Gilgal for awhile, the place of healing and rest before the battle begins. Maybe just "set awhile". Mostly, I'm just incredibly surprised to finally be here. Humbled by it. Thankful for it. Awed by my God. No one crosses the jordan unless He crosses first. He parts the waters. He's longed to do that for me for some time now - it has been my stiff-necked refusal and my unbelief that kept me wandering. All it took was enough faith to put one big toe in the water.
Callings of God can be frightening. But what's more frightening is not following. Can't describe the hollowness that comes from standing still, but I'm certain I don't want it anymore. It's not about the call itself anyway. It's really not even about the where or when or how or why. It's simply about Who is walking before and with you. The journey's the thing. And the divine companion who's holding your hand. I'm glad it's not one of those things where He goes ahead so far that we have to meet Him there - so far that we can get lost along the way. I'm discovering that the only way I can get lost is if I wander away from Him to do some unholy sight seeing.
