This morning as I sat reading my Bible and praying, a thought passed through my mind.
"TAKE EACH DAY AS AN ADVENTURE NOT A CHALLENGE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS"
It was a whisper of the Holy Spirit and it opened my eyes to a fresh perspective on life.
The word 'challenge' immediately brings images of struggle, battle, walking uphill and walking through muddy waters , to mind.
Challenges are heavy, like young David trying to put on King Saul 's heavy battle armour. He took it off after a minute -it was too weighty.
Challenges fill me with anxiety-dark brooding thoughts of what 's going to ensue. Questions like ,"Will I be able to make it or not?" float to the top like foam in a boiling pot.
But what is adventure? It speaks of exploit, experience and enterprise. A venture into a fresh new day totally depending on God to lead the way.It can be an uphill or downhill adventure, remember Alice in her Wonderland?
But the comforting thought is that all will turn on well in the end.
So let me begin my adventure now.
Jesus said...I have come that they may have life , and have it to the full.
John 10;7-10 NIV (BIBLE)
