Refining Adventurous Faith

You may remember when I told you about “adventurous” faith and for me it’s trusting God in the UNKNOWN. I was asked if I knew what was next after the departure and I said no. This is part of the adventure. I have no idea what to pack and I am talking about what to bring along on this ADVENTURE that I have never been on before. It’s as if someone said, “Let’s go on an adventure. Don’t bring anything. Don’t pack anything. I have everything you could imagine you needed and things you can’t imagine. What you need will appear. Who you need will appear. Will you go?”

Of course it depends on the person and plus, I am not one for adventures unless they are planned. But, if it’s someone who knows me, I would trust them and go. Who knows me better than the one who created me? So, I said yes and then I got the next step which was to depart. I wrote about that, too.

This adventurous faith is becoming more of the thing that settles my spirit when I start to feel fear. I remember that I can trust God who goes before me and that I have faith in the known God for the unknown. I don’t know what God’s itinerary is and I am NOT sure I want to know. Sometimes adventures can be a little dicey and all of these NEW things I have never tried before or eaten before. Eh…let me not get ahead of God. If there are bumps and bruises along the way or turbulence on the flight, I am in good hands with a healer and a deliverer.
