So, here I am again facing those ships. You know the ones. The names of these ships are not the Nina, the Pinta nor the Santa Maria. These ships are called safety, security, stability. These hold a false hope that if things do not work here you always have a way to go back. They take me from this place of pure enjoyment and fulfillment that I have been experiencing to the humdrum of life having a 9 to 5 job with the regular paycheck. After hearing all in one day friends speak about how when they said "no we have to continue in what we know God has called us to. We have to contend for this ability to stand in faith. There is no plan B.": I realized that I had a plan B.
As much as I would have despised in accepting it I knew that I was having more faith in that plan than in what God had given me for the year. So, I am burning the ships of financial safety, financial security and financial stability that the world's view says would give us. With that said I am asking Father God to give me His safety, His security, His stability. With this decision I know that I won't have the fear of a failing economy, or of job layoffs, downsizing, buyouts, etc.
During worship time in a still small voice I heard these words, "It's ok, I've got you." As I heard them I saw a child being caught or carried by her father and him telling her these words of comfort.
He is my strength. He is my strong tower. He holds me in His everlasting arms.
