Here is the link to a message I had the chance to give at Water’s Edge.
The edge is God’s Playground. When we stay away from the edge, we play on safe ground. We tend to engage in actions that rely on our talents or our gifts. The tragedy of playing away from the edge is that at the end of the day, we tend to take the credit and limit what God can do.
Ponder the story of David and the edge he stood on when facing Goliath. There were many there who could have stepped out and faced the giant. There were plenty who had the skills, the training, and the experience to do it but none of them did. They stayed back on the safe ground, forgetting who this God is that they serve and follow. But not David. He ran to the edge with to see what would happen and see what God would do.
The great part of this story is that though only one man ran to the edge, the whole body had a chance to cellebrate and take part in the victory. That is one of the great things of being apart of the body. Peter went to the edge and got out of the boat to walk on water. But don’t forget, that all those around him got to see first hand how God provided. Story after story in scripture is wrapped up in those who were on the edge and others who saw from the safe ground and ALL worshiped God for what HE did.
To those on the edge, know that God is doing amazing things through you. Continue to share the story. Continue to declare what God is doing and trusting in him so that the body of believers would be blessed.
So, weather you are wired to be on the edge or one to stay on safe ground, know that God is doing amazing things around us. Eternity’s are being impacted. Lives are being changed. People are being set free and new life is being breathed in. To Jesus alone be all glory.
For those on the Unpaved Journey
