'The Spirit of God began to take hold of him' Judges 13:5. Through out the library of scripture we are presented with stories that depict the wild and reckless love of God. Noah, and a wild request to build a boat. Abraham and Sarah, and a wild announcement from angels about impossible babies. Ezekiel, and wild and impossible questions from God about dead bones coming back to life. In Jesus we see the wildness of God revealed in human flesh.
In the book of Acts we can become confused, or even offended by the outrageous acts of a wild God. As we come close to the Bible, the living Word of God, we choose to resist or choose to submit. Ultimately we know that submission to the wild ways of God brings peace and contentment. At the time, however, it can feel like stepping out into the unknown.
