Get out of the Truck

February 10, 2010

Joshua 18:3 How long do you intend to PUT OFF OCCUPYING the land God has given you?

Let’s say that someone has just given you a new house – it’s all empty and ready for you to move your furniture in and to make this house your home. You pull up into the driveway in the moving truck and you see this beautiful house and you decide to not make a move any further toward the house. In fact, you decide to eat and sleep and live while you sit in the front seat of the moving truck.

Sounds crazy?

This is what is going on with God’s people. Brand new land just waiting for them to make their new home but they decide to stay sitting in the moving truck.

Why do we do this?

It could be fear – it could be comfort – it could be distraction – but for sure we are missing out on a beautiful, adventure-filled life if all we do is stay in the truck.

Jesus calls us to follow him and become like him in the way that we live. Will we trust him? What he is calling us to is to be a people that see that our beautiful, adventure-filled life is to be about; Loving God – loving people – loving mission.

But in order to live this way we really need to get out of the truck!
