One of our local business establishments always posts a humorous or thought-provoking slogan on its sign by the roadside. It always begins with, "Sydney says..."
This week's edition caught my eye and I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget it.
Sydney say, "Plunge boldly into the thick of life!"
Good advice!
I suppose the opposite would be, "Gingerly stick your big toe into the edge of existence."
As believers in Jesus Christ, redeemed by His blood, we should boldly step out to face the daily challenges of abundant living. Instead, so many of us hesitate to take risks. We settle for the comfortable. The easy! The mundane!
Let's trust God and forge ahead, confident that He will lead us aright! Go for the gusto!
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:1,2 (ESV)
