Hey Everybody! I just started reading a good book and all I can think about is how much it applies to World Racers. So, I have to share a bit! I know you all have books on your reading list, but if you’re way ahead of the game I really really urge you to check this book out.
The title is Seizing Your Divine Moment – Daring to Live a Life of Adventure by Erwin McManus. This book speaks about God’s calling, His will for out lives, our passions, taking intitiave, moving on faith despite the uncertainties, and living a life of radical adventure and devotion to Him. This sounds like the World Race to me. Here are a few quotes that will hopefully encourage you even if it doesn’t inspire you to pick up the book and read it!
“To follow Jesus is to enter the unkown, to relingquish security, and to exchange certainty for confidence in Him.”
“To seize your divine moment, you must treasure the invitation to join God. These moments can be fully grasped only when one moment with God is worth more than an enternity witout Him.”
“There is no small life when it is given away, no meaningless moments.”
“Do what you know you should do, and you will know what to do. God clarifies in the midst of obedience, not beforehand.”
“There may be another question that needs to be asked beyond, “What is God doing?” and that is “What is God dreaming?” Is there something that God wants initiated and He’s waiting for someone to volunteer?”
“In your moment of truth what will you choose? Wil you choose the wilderness or the adventure? Have you confused the blessing of God with wealth, comfort, and security? Have you considered that His greatest blessing comes when He calls us to be pioneers, explorers, and even conquerors? Will you dare to live a life of adventure? When you do, you will live in the epicenter of God’s activity.”
