Interesting conversations over the weekend around 'why haven't we got stories to share of God at work in our week?'
On Monday I read that Jesus was asked the same question by the disciples (Matthew 17) and Jesus response was 'because you are not yet taking God seriously' (The message) - 'the simple truth is, that if you had a mere kernel of faith ... you would tell this mountain, 'Move' ...'
I don't know about you, but taking the plunge to put ourselves - and God - on the line by offering, for example, to pray for someone can seem about as risky as suggesting we could order a mountain to move - we might just look very stupid. As someone over the weekend put it - every time you step out in 'faith' it feels like you are stepping off a cliff.
Maybe we need to take God more seriously - that he is longing to meet our friends and colleagues where they are at - but someone has to bring the message.
Let's give it a go - and share the stories.
