moving on, moving on
I'm trying to remember this oldie but goodie that Stevie Wonder sang...it goes something..like the.....I keep reaching for the sun, moving on, moving on...that's what it comes down to for me as a christian, it would be such a nice ride and I get so comfortable in the seat then all of a sudden, inside of me I hear the sounds of a far away place, inside of my mind I see images of that place, my gut says get yourself reaadddy, of course I will think of all the places I have been longing to go to, but then I catch myself after a minute of wild planning and think, is this the Lord or me? I take an assessment of all the things happening around me and then say to myself there is something very familiar about what's happening to me right now. It seems like I traveled this path before, I remember when God came many years before and snatched me away from a very comfortable but dangerous place I was in. There were no ifs or buts, it was packed my bags, got on the plane and with tears flowing down my face I said aloha, to that big beautiful city by the bay. I did not know what I was going to do when I get to wherever I was going till about some years later. God showed up again and shifted the grounds underneath me and put me in the places he wanted me in. You know something? I'm at that stage again, and you know something? I love it! Because when God interferes, you are in for a wild, exciting and adventurous time! Years before there was a saint of the Lord, her name was Corrie Ten Boom, I loved hearing about her adventures with the Lord. She called herself a tramp for the Lord..oh, how God used that woman for his glory before he took her home. She was a preacher on airplanes, trains, streets, wherever she went, her mouth was always talking Jesus..she never stayed in one place, when the nazis took her home during world war 1, she considered the entire earth her home and she tramped all over it for JESUS! GLORY! Oh God! give me a heart like that..always moving forward for you, never staying put in one place or getting too lazy and comfortable to say yes to you. Come Lord Jesus, all my bags are packed I am ready to go. I want to tramp all over this earth with you my Master!
