Untracked land

Untracked land. Most vivid on days marked by change. Upheaval. 

When planned schedules sit. Unattended. Calendars, set aside. 

And we enter unknown spaces. 

On such a day, I remember the quote. Handwritten on a scrap of paper years ago. Placed on my desk. 

Amy Carmichael’s words. 

Untracked land.

Devotional Making Disciples

Obedience

Make obedience a burden. Something to dread. Avoid. That’s what the world tries to do.

In today’s idol listings, personal fulfillment and independence rise up. Insisting we not be tied down. Or restricted by God’s commands. 

“Too many requirements,” the world says.

Yes, Lord

Take a deep breath. 
“Yes, Lord.”
Then step out by faith.
	Walk into unknown waters.
Enter cross-currents of
something new.
