Let's take a walk...

1John 1:17 “the world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.”

This life is fleeting.

I sit here with this question resonating in my heart… What are we really living for?

I want to live for the will of MY Jesus! I want to be someone who at the end of my life, whenever that may come, is known as someone who lived sold out, flat out and fully for God. I want to risk. I want to step out of boat and walk on water, not just once as a cool story of what happened to me back in the day, but as a very normal activity of my life.

There is a scripture in the beginning of Matthew where Jesus picks his disciples. I can imagine that this was a pretty crucial decision and massive moment in the history of the world and for the rest of eternity, really. The first scripture in that day was one that describes Jesus’ actions. What impresses me and actually makes me stand in awe is where in Matthew 4:18 it says, “As Jesus was walking beside the sea…” I can fancy this being a normal activity for Jesus, he probably walked there often. But this day was different. He had an urgency in His Spirit, He knew God wanted to do something big.

There is a phrase that I have heard many times, and I strive to be just this… Naturally Supernatural.  Jesus in His very natural activity was totally and utterly supernatural. Not freaky. Not weird for the sake of being weird. He just lived a life that was yielded to His Father. I want moments of “just taking a walk” that change eternity in my own life. I want to be so inclined to my Father’s voice that I can only but obey and act and do!

So I began by saying, the world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. And again I ask what are we living for? I never want to be so caught up in this world that I get blinded to what God may be requiring of me, to either do or to give up or to step out in faith for.

I want to be known as Megan, the Woman who Walks on Water. And that is totally weird, that is totally freaky, but when I am inclining my ear to God’s… it is actually totally natural, and fully supernatural. I believe with my entire being that God’s heart is for the broken, the lost and the needy. So in my living I want to attract those. I want to draw the downcast, the disillusioned and the unsaved to a Savior who adores them and loves them and longs for them.

This world is crying out from the deepest part of their hearts for someone who SEES them and loves them completely, and I know that Jesus when He was walking along the sea that day, He SAW those men. He saw them with eyes from Heaven, through Heaven tinted glasses.  He was very casually and naturally living a supernatural life. That is my desire.

Let’s live in this world, but not be so caught up with it. Let us live free from the hinges of the enemy. Let us live this fully natural and supernatural life simultaneously. Let us “take a walk” for God, every day.
