My pastor told a story a while back of the vikings who tried to invade England a few times, but each time the english held them back from the high cliffs and the Vikings leave on their ships. After a few defeats they came back again, but this time they came to shore to unloaded thier boats and as the English watched from up above they set their ships on fire and pushed them out to sea.
The english watched as they burned and were stunned.
The vikings then charged in a rage up the cliffs, fully aware there was no retreat this time.
It was defeat the english or die.
The vikings were out numbered and the english had the advantage of the high spots on the cliffs, but the vikings burned the plan B and eliminated it.
There were no other plans, it was win or die.
I am not certain I have the details on this story correct, but it does not matter as the picture from this speaks clearly regardless if I have it slightly wrong.
I and far to many of us are holding on to our plan B, because we do not trust God to truly come through on His plan.
When I heard this something came to mind and I wondered if this was God speaking to my heart, or was it just me. It seemed crazy and extreme. Yet it also seemed perhaps I was and am holding on to a plan B, and out of fear not burning the ship to go back on for plan B.
I have been thinking more and more that God is leading me to act and do somethings, but I have not done them and am nervous about doing them.
There is fear, I am not certain yet of what the Lord wants me to do, but even should He make it blantantly obvious and clear to me, I still fear that I would and do have fear to do it.
We truly do not want to live in a way that unless God shows up, we are doomed.
We love to live in a if God doesn't show up, I have my plan B to fall back on way of life.
I wonder if I am to light a boat on fire soon.
This is a old blog entry from my old blog that I have posted to the new blog to help preserve the history of the ministry and the process it has gone through.
