It is a fine to say that we want to live a life based on trusting God; that we want Him as our pilot. Oswald Chambers asks “Will you go out without knowing?” Do we have the courage to step out each morning without a plan other than to do what He dictates. God doesn’t share his plans. He leads one step at a time.
We do well when considering leading an Extraordinary Life by giving our Utmost for His Highest to consider a young man who last night probably established himself as the greatest player in college history and accepted the Most Valuable Player of the Sugar Bowl award by thanking his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on national television. Tim Tebow demonstrates the Christian who is unashamedly Christian while being the finest he can be in his chosen vocation. Tim wore a bible verse reference on his face for each game. For his final game as a Gator he chose
Ephesians 2:8-10
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
This verse may best summarize the My Utmost for His Highest philosophy. Having been saved as a gift, not by works, we recognize that we are created to do good works as God directs and in His power and preparation.
Are we prepared to Go Out Without Knowing? It is Out there that the blessings reside.
Go out and
Be blessed.
