1 Peter 1:13 - Life Is An Adventure

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, The youngest of my 4 brothers has a saying, "life is an adventure!" This was a profound statement to me at the time he told me. He is 9 years younger than me and always had a way of bringing peace to a chaotic situation. The chaotic situation was about 40 years back, while visiting him and his family I wanted to have a conversation with him because I was going to have to make a decision about leaving California and moving to another state. This meant that I could no longer visit him as often, which was so important to me at the time. I also wanted to talk to him about my relationship with the Lord. I had been praying for about two weeks about finding time to share my walk with the Lord. As I began to share about my faith he kindly listened and then what he said was that "life is an adventure" and he wanted to explore it more before he decided. We still have a beautiful relationship and he is still deciding. This morning as I prepared for this post I remembered the scene so vividly, driving down the freeway, just him and me and talking about life and sharing about our lives. I often use those four words in response to how I am actually doing when it comes to my walk of Faith. Yes, life is an adventure, more so, when You have the LORD at the forefront, leading the way, equipping you for the situation. Yes, life is an adventure when you start your day for you know not what will happen. You have planned out your day BUT an unexpected turn of events comes crashing into your life, that is why I chose, the verse today, "Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ,." (1 Peter 1:13). Not only is my life an adventure, it is also blessed with the riches and mercy of Jesus Christ. Each moment is an adventure for when you ask and seek and knock and He answers and is found and opens the doors of your heart to witness the glory of God your life has just taken a turn for the lovingkindness and steadfast love and peace which passes all understanding comes swiftly into your heart and no longer will you be fearful of what is happening but will be rejoicing for He is God and He is Sovereign. Let us pray - Abba Father, Gracious and Mighty and Holy art thou. Thank You, O Lord, that You are in control of ALL things and You are everywhere at ALL times. Lord, most merciful and gracious Lord, I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ, that as she enters into her day Your blessed assurance will be evident and may she, "therefore prepare her mind for acting keep sober in spirit, fix her hope completely on the Grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ" and live today knowing that she has a God who knows and will never leave nor forsake no matter what she faces in her life. In Jesus Name, Amen. Living the adventurous life,
