I’m looking for adventure.
I’m not looking to book passage on a cruise ship or a train. I’m not dreaming of going on safari. Mount Kilimanjaro isn’t calling me. And I’m sure not interested in a trek to the South Pole!
No, I’m looking for an adventure of the God kind.

You know the kind of adventure I’m talking about, don’t you? The kind where you know that God is calling you out and away from the stale,ordinary day to day existence we all succumb to. Real adventure.
The kind of adventure where you have no idea what the end goal is, and even less insight on how to get there. You just “know that you know”that God is calling you to MORE.
Like He did with Abraham, telling him to leave all he knew to start on a journey to who knows where(Genesis 12).
The kind of adventure guided only by the Word and the Presence of God.
Scared yet?
Or an adventure like Noah. Build an ark? Sure thing Lord. But what’s an ark, and what is this “rain” you speak of? Noah’s adventure was one of a kind, in fact we’re still talking about it today!
I’m looking for a faith adventure. One that requires me to walk by faith, and not by sight. An adventure over uncharted waters, across hills and valleys, my compass fixed on God.

I’m looking for an adventure that goes far beyond Church, one that is immersed in a living relationship with the living God.
I’m looking for that Abundant Life kind of adventure.
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly“. NKJV emphasis mine
I don’t know when, how, or any other of the countless details that make up this great adventure. What I do know is I’m putting myself out there and saying to the Lord that I’m all in.
Lead me Lord,and I’ll follow.
Who else is up for a great adventure of the God kind?
Be blessed,
Ron

There are two responses to this type of adventure: abject terror or total trust.

Agreed Anna. As for me, I’ve played it safe for 40+ years. I feel like it’s time to fully trust God.

There is a book by Stan Toler called “God Has Never Failed Me, But…He’s Sure Scared Me to Death a Few Times”. I think that’s the experience of the walk of faith. We learn to trust Him gradually. As we progress, the dangers increase, and the rescues take longer and longer. In fact, there may be no “rescue” as we envision it. Instead, we learn to trust our lives to God whatever the outcome.
