Are you crazy.....

    Have you ever felt God telling you to do something that either sounded crazy to others or they just said it was impossible to do?  Say for instance writing a book or for me I ran a 1/2 marathon (and yes I was crazy but it was for a good cause).  As God lays things on your heart; he has his reasons and that's all that matters.  What people will fail to see by listening to God's direction is that you can miss out on something even grander.  Take for instance Noah.  He built a boat!  Not just any boat; this one was a rather large one; the first cruise ship I'd say.  People thought he was nuts!  But oh the glory of it all in the end......"by faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in HOLY FEAR built an ark to save his family.  By his Faith he condemned the world and became HEIR of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith." (Hebrews 11:7)
    Whoa!!!  Can you imagine what he would have lost had he not obeyed God's commands out of a healthy fear of the Lord?  We wouldn't be blessed with a beautiful rainbow after a rainy day for starters.  I'm so grateful he did and this should tell us all to be bold where God is concerned.  Don't worry about what your neighbor or friend or even a family member has to say.  If God commands, you listen and you will be richly rewarded.  It may not be in your lifetime; but it will be done! -CiCi-
