This is a direct quote from a book I am reading called
"The Cross and the Switchblade" by David Wilkerson.
"And yet, lets's ask ourselves honestly: If it is true that the job of us humans here on earth is to do the will of God, can we not expect that in some way He will make that will known to us?"
I can't quit thinking about that quote. Maybe God is speaking to you today to do something that seems insane, ridiculous, risky to you. Pray about it. Ask for God's guidance.
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Mark 6: 7-13
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. 7 Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.
8 These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. 10Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them."
12 They went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them
The point seems that they were obedient in following Jesus' advice and they were given authority over evil spirits and the gift of healing.
Maybe too many of us today hesitate to follow instructions when they seem risky or ridiculous. We chalk it up to following human wisdom and good judgement.
It's time to take that risk and listen to our Lord when he says
Romans 8:31
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
