God does not want complacent, idle followers. To follow requires that we get up off our couches – out of our places of comfort – and go to the places that Jesus is going. There certainly is a time and place for resting in God, but that should only be a part of our spiritual walk, not the whole thing. As Pastor Mark continues to lead us through our study of 1st Samuel, we are reminded that we need to get up and seek God’s will. As we get out there and do the things He calls us to, loving others with the grace that He extended to us, we will find fulfillment and joy that can’t be found elsewhere.
