"And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:21-22
The glory of God.
Our life's purpose, our life's goal, all summed up into one phrase. We exist to bring God glory. Our very existence is testimony to his majesty! Yet, through what we do with our existence, he can be even more glorified!
What is so wonderful about this purpose that God has given us, is that it is an adventure! The journey of faith is not a boring one. It only becomes boring when we allow our faith to weaken, and forget how big and mighty our God is! God wants to be glorified through us by doing exciting things with us.
I think our prayer life is a good indicator of our faith level sometimes. We're going to sincerely pray for what we believe God can do. Sadly... I'm realizing my prayer life has the tendency to quickly become, "Lord, help me with this math test and let me glorify you today."
What a boring level of faith.
No! I'm ready to live on the edge with God. Even if it means my prayers are asking Him to move mountains. Even if it means begging Him to bring the dead hearts of an entire high school to life. Even if it just means Him bringing ONE person that was dead in their sin into the glorious life through the blood of the Lamb!
I want God to use me in incredible ways to make his name famous! I want to fall deeply in love with Him, and follow Him to the ends of the earth...
I'm tired of living in the safe zone with a God for whom all things are possible. (Mark 10:27)
