The next time God calls you to do something completely inexplicable, be open to it. And say yes. Jim Mellado, Compassion International's next President
Ever wanted to do something but thought to yourself, or had others tell you, things like:
That's crazy to even consider!
But that makes no sense!
There's no way that can work out.
etc etc etc
Right? We've all done that or perhaps are currently doing that. Usually we stall out and never take action on what it might be. But a few have been willing to say yes and those are the few that we hold up in high esteem for being courageous and risk takers. The good news is we can be courageous and risk takers also. We just have to be open to the adventures we will most certainly travel through to get to the destination. We have to take the first step which is say "yes" to that thing and then trust the path that God opens up in front of us. If God calls us to it, asks us to go on adventure with him, then we must trust that he will open up the path. It may only be a couple of steps at a time but if he's in it then we can trust him for it. We can trust him for the steps to take, the length of the journey, the outcome of the journey, and all the in between that happens.
What is inexplicable for me may not be for you and vice versa. But God knows what you and I need in order to grow and be refined. So the next time he asks you to participate in something inexplicable take affirmative action and watch what happens because of your trust!
