Have you ever discovered something amazing that you just couldn’t wait to show your friends or family? Some hidden treasure, old photo, or let’s be honest – Social Media video that you laughed and laughed at? We often wrap these events in sayings like, “You’ve got to check this out…” Or, “Look at this!” We love sharing our “finds” with others.
The amazing thing about faith is that this two-thousand year old invitation is the same one we answer today. Whenever we step out of our comfort zone and into faith we take a chance… Will it be amazing? Will it be worth it? Will I find what I’m looking for? There’s always a risk involved… Just as there was for those first disciples, and just as there is whenever someone wants to show you their amazing discovery or social media video.
As Mrs. Beaver says to young Susan in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe; “Safe?” said Mr Beaver …”Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”
As we follow Jesus, we are promised not only to see the miraculous but to experience even greater things. Our journey with Him is a continuous unfolding of divine wonders. Through prayer, worship, and a surrendered life, we tap into the heavenly realm, witnessing the supernatural intervention of God in our circumstances and the world around us. We must answer His invitation to follow Him, to Come and See, and to step out in faith… It’s a risk worth taking.
May we embrace this journey with faith, knowing that following Jesus means we will truly see amazing things unfold in our lives and in the world for His glory.
Prayer: “Lord, let us respond with boldness and eagerness to your invitation. We want to follow you wholeheartedly, but our flesh is so weak. Grant us the strength to journey with you, and to partake in even greater things than we can even think or imagine.”
