Scattered

“So those who were scattered went on their way preaching the Word” (Acts 8:4).

Scattered. After Stephen’s death by stoning. After great persecution broke out against the church.

Scattered, they proclaimed. 

Spreading the gospel.

Chart the future

Sometimes we want to chart the future. Check out the land first. See if it’s a good fit. 

And while the fruit is inviting, enemies can seem awfully big. Cities and their barriers, overwhelming. 

So we hem and haw. Hesitate to go.

Step back from the border.

Walk by faith

Walk by faith? No matter what’s going on around me?

Somedays, I need to breathe a deep breath. Then take that first step. 

It only takes one in the right direction to focus my heart. 

Leaving behind preconceived to-do lists. Agendas. And turning to the one thing. Abiding in Christ.
