Move

"You can't hear God when you're rooted in what you own and where you're at. (He can't speak to you about moving if you're not willing to move.)" -Dad

My Dad is a very wise man. I'm blessed to have him as a father and a spiritual input into my life. We had been talking about how we both know know people who have been just packing their whole lives up and moving hours away just because they feel like God called them to do it. Anyway, what he said really got me thinking. I wonder how many of us just stay put because we're so settled in what we have and where we live.

My house-mate and I have also been talking about Abraham and Sarah: what God called them to do and their faith. I don't think they did everything right, by any means, but they took some huge risks.

Hebrews 11:8-12 (NIV) By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him ofa the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

What is God asking you to do? Maybe it's time to do something outrageous.  :)
