17 | When God Says "Stay"


Listen Later

In today's podcast episode, we dive into the following:

* Exploring the challenges and rewards of staying in difficult, God-ordained scenarios.

* Reflecting on Biblical examples of individuals who had to stay in trying situations.

* My personal journey of embracing the call to stay when it's not the desired path.

Isaiah's Willingness to Go Deeper

·       Examining Isaiah's willingness to respond to God's call despite knowing the discomfort and difficulty ahead.

·       The need for a genuine "Here I am, send me" response even when aware of the stakes.

·       The journey towards having no borders in trusting and obeying God.

The Example of Staying in Mark 5

·       The healing of the demon-possessed man by Jesus in Mark 5.

·       Jesus instructs the healed man to stay and share the Lord's mercy with his own people.

·       A lesson in the power of staying where God wants to use us and the opportunities it brings.

The Call to Stay as an Opportunity

·       Viewing the call to stay as an opportunity, perhaps even a sanctuary.

·       Embracing the various aspects of staying, like prayer, humility, and teachability.

·       Balancing the love for adventure and the willingness to stay.

·       The excitement of "little go's" in the midst of staying.

Where might God be calling you to stay?
