Launching Pad or Parking Lot?
Which would you say represents your walk with Christ? The sit and wait of a parking lot, or the passion and excitement of the launch pad?
Have you ever had an interview or a meeting to go to where you found yourself scared to get out of your car? So you sit there in you car waiting for the chance to get out of why you’re there. The rapture is about to happen or maybe they’ll call and cancel at the last minute, so you won’t have to get out of your car.
Probably something we can all relate to, but does it represent your faith too? Does fear rule your faith and hinder the passion and blessings God has for you?
Christianity can be a scary thing. The expectation of being perfect, and that every unbeliever is watching you. It’s pretty intimidating, BUT those are not the expectations of you but the expectations of God with you. God is the only one, who’s perfect, and we are still human, Christian or not, so mistakes and slip ups will happen. But it’s the faith and hope we find in God that separates us from everyone else. And this is something that is bigger than your sedan or suburban. So get of the car and out on the launch pad.
Now what does life entail on the launch pad. Does that mean I have to sell everything I own and rush off to the remotest spot in Africa or Indonesia? Well no, it means being ready to serve and be active in your faith.
When N.A.S.A. says they are going to have a launch, months upon months are spent in preparing before the shuttle even gets to the launch pad. Those preparations are for you to grow in your knowledge of God’s word and strengthen your prayer life and faith. Just thinking about launching into a lifestyle of love, forgiveness, kindness, self control is exciting, even if the ship never enters the final count down.
I encourage you to make your Christian walk like the N.A.S.A. space launch prep. You are meant to step our and serve the world in small or big ways so get out of the parking lot and embrace the passion and excitement of faith. This ain’t no spectator sport. J
Be Blessed and Encouraged!
