Count Down #5 To Running With The Horses-WOW 2016

Lost In Him

Jeremiah 12:5-6 (MSG)5-6 “So, Jeremiah, if you’re worn out in this footrace with men,
    what makes you think you can race against horses?
And if you can’t keep your wits during times of calm,
    what’s going to happen when troubles break loose
        like the Jordan in flood?

Get in Over Your 
Head

How far we go with Jesus always depends on how much we trust Him.  Every journey begins with the first step.  If we follow Him it will be like stepping off a cliff.  We are never sure where the next step is all we know is He told us where to go.  I remember Abraham when he was told to go to a land that the Lord would show him.  I imagine that others thought he was crazy.  But one step of obedience lead him to a life of adventure in God.  

Ezekiel 47:4 (NIV) "He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist."

In the Bible a thousand is the number of maturity.  When God is measuring how deep the prophet will go He is actually showing Ezekiel the possibilities in God and that as we grow in trust and mature, we get lost in God; because we trust God and relinquish our hold on everything and everyone else.

Challenge for today: "Let go and let God"!  He will take you where you've never gone before.
