I live in a land of ease. A land where we want to test things out before we believe we will be good at them. (I too am the same way.) Where good opportunities abound, and investments bring great return. Where obeying Jesus means consistent church-going. O God, take me out of the land of ease and into your presence. Suffering is joy when you are near.
Giving up your life is not to be done when going to the field, but should be done at the moment you accept Jesus' gospel. Preaching Jesus and Him crucified should be done ALWAYS, not when it is your vocation. Jesus deserves people radically sold out to Him. Why is it easy to excuse obedience because of our vocations?
Just some things I have been pondering...
