I kinda like being comfortable. I like it when things are ordered and moving along as planned. It is nice when things move along smoothly. Do you like it when things are comfortable and ordered and all seems good?
Yet it is dangerous to live on cruise control. When we are just cruising down the rut it is sometimes hard to see what is going on outside of our little trench. And isn’t a little excitement OK sometimes? Isn’t it invigorating to feel the tension of the unknown or the “what if”?
In John 14 Jesus states that He is the way, the truth, and the life. To know Jesus is to know God. It raises the question in my mind: how well do I know Jesus? Do I really know enough of Him? Or am I on cruise in my relationship with Jesus? Or do I read the Word with questions? How will I know Him better today? How will this word cause me to grow? To trust Him more?
No one is ” there” yet. All of us have room to grow, to know Him better, to trust Him more. To seek these things brings us to the edge of the unknown. Step out – it’s kinda exciting out here.
