Devotional thought from Maysville, KY

Laying down thinking about how much god has given me in life and specifically throughout this tour, I am convicted like I have NEVER been convicted before. My conviction is simple, it's to "Do Something". Even though I am on this 5 week trip for the freedom of others, God does not demand 5 weeks of crazy intense biking from me, he just wants me to walk through the doors that he so graciously opens. Sometimes, in my own stubbornness, when I think about what God calls me to and how "simple" it may seem, in foresight I mentally dwarf the possibility of God doing greats things in and though me. "Where is the adventure in walking through a door that's already been opened for me?" I sometimes ask myself. That's called taking an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving God and putting Him into a box of my own expectations. That's wrong. I think God is teaching me to expect an adventure in His calling, and to surely expect for me NOT to be able to do any of it on my own strength, I will ALWAYS need Him.

I've also been convicted of being a lazy American. Seriously, we have it SO good. time and time again I am reminded of how blessed we are to live in such a blessed country. I want to start living by this motto, "If I have it, it better be used to bless others while glorifying God."

Do something, whether it seems to be easy or impossible, just do it. One man with God is the majority.
