Friday - 10/26 - Read Hebrews 11:8 and Genesis 12:1-4

I made a statement on Sunday that most Christians want the blessings of Canaan without leaving Haran. Would that have worked for Abraham? Will that work for you?

Have you been thinking about what your Canaan might be? Where is it God is leading you to that will require you stepping out of the comfortable and familiar into the unknown of His best for your life?

I shared possible things: A quiet time. Attending an ABF. Talking to a neighbor about Christ. Beginning or attending a small group. Starting a brand new ministry of some kind? What might it be?

It is by far safer and more satisfying to be lost on an adventure with God than to play it safe and cling to the comfortable missing out on the best that God has for your life.

This isn't just something that individuals should be willing to do, it is also something that a small group should be willing to do, or an ABF, or a family, and especially that a church must be willing to do.

However, it must start with individual believers who see how big God is and jump into the deep section of life with their Savior who already jumped into the deep section some 2000 years ago when He came into this world.
