When you hear that phrase, what comes to mind? Buying something on credit?
Yes…but actually, it could also be a command! A command to take action.
To actually DO something.
The Bible reminds us to seek God before we act. We are to await His blessing and His anointing. However in many cases, I believe that it’s not the we are waiting on God…it’s that God is waiting on US.
Have you ever been at a pool? Seen the little kid with the water wings on? Their father is in the pool begging the kid to jump in? The little kid wants to jump. They will come up to the edge and look…they will ask…will you catch me…and still…many get frustrated and get upset.
Throughout the Bible, God has hooked his people up. He has brought them out of captivity, to the Promised land, He has given them instructions and all they have to do is jump!
But so many times we fail to charge forward as the fearless, passionate children of God!
Why are we so timid? Why are we so passive?
God is continuously trying to hook us up with the joy of experiencing a life we cannot imagine.
What if the kid never learns to swim. What potential joy are they walking away from? What joy are they robbing their father of?
So today I ask all of us to charge. Live our lives the way we are intended…go for it…JUMP! Our father will surely catch us in his loving arms.
