Iron Sharpens Iron

Happy New Year guys!

I cant help but feel that 2009 will be one to remember. I think it has to do with Christians like you and me moving out from our bunkers to discover and take new territory. We have worked hard in 2008 to defend what is ours but now is a time for us to respond to the God of miracles who wants to stretch out the tent chords and enlarge the borders, who wants to give us the land of the giants. I believe there will be an explosive release in many of our hearts when we respond to His call.

What can stop us...
One of the things will be the fear of failure that accompanies RISK.

EXCERPT:
“You cannot fail without risking. If you have never failed, it might just be possible that you have never risked.
Second, if you have never failed, you have never really lived. When you follow God, He takes you beyond your own capacities, forces you to go beyond your abilities. A part of the divine adventure is experiencing the miraculous hand of God as He intervenes in your life. Failure is the context for miracle. We all want miracles, but we try to avoid needing them.” (Chasing Daylight pg. 144)

This year, may we take the necessary risks, may we gain the appointed territory and may we be extended beyond our own abilities to be aware of our desperate NEED for God!

Amen.

God Bless us,
Rob
