4 March 2010 Holy Boldness

I have been taking time over a series of Lenten readings by Tom Wright and today came across a wonderful line that I wanted to share.

"If you believe in a living God, use a little Holy Boldness"

It reminded me of the last few weeks in the UK before we left to live in America, as we said more and more goodbyes, the whole process became harder with lots of good friends wishing us luck, but also expressing concern about our new start. On one particular evening as I was becoming more and more worried, I described the process as stepping onto the flume at the swimming pool, the process was happening and we were being swept along by it. At the same time however,  I did feel  that all my fine words on trust and faith were being tested and  if I truly believed in this living God, then I had to believe that he  would be at the end of the flume to catch us, that he would not let us sink.

 

All it took was a little "Holy Boldness"

I wonder how much we truly believe and trust how bold we are prepared to be in our prayers, our actions and stepping out in our faith.

"Do not be afraid-I am with you!

I am your God-let nothing terrify you!"

Isaiah 41 vs 10
