I Am Out Of The Office. I Am On The Adventure.

As I was casually sitting in my office with my elbows on the desk reading, it dawned on me once again hutchins_sepia_blueweb.jpgwhat privilege it is to know the Lord and His saving grace and sovereign will.  I was privileged early this morning to reflect through prayer and meditation on the largesse of our glorious God.  With pensive stare, I held my gaze until I saw through the man in the mirror and seized hold of the man who paid the ultimate price for me, Jesus!

As I thought of Him, I realized again what glorious life He intends for His children.  He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field.”  Nothing more brilliant or bold has been declared about the Believer’s life.

We are designed to enjoy a life of adventure.  We are called to the ultimate adventure.  We are on a treasure hunt searching for hidden treasures.  WOW!  What a glorious venture to embark upon.

I constantly meet people who are unhappy with their lives. They are unhappy because they have no adventure.  Instead of embracing the “life more abundantly” they are promised, they seem to spend their lives stuck in sameness.  These people just circle on the carousel of mediocrity.  Always moving, but never gaining ground.  And yet, God in His unmerited favor and extravagant grace invites the “believer” to an adventurous life.  We are invited on the ultimate treasure hunt.  It is the single greatest experience a believer can have, an experience which cannot be eclipsed.

Jesus said for us to labor in the field until we find that treasure that will transform our lives.  It’s the treasure that makes paupers, millionaires.  It’s the treasure that makes the hobbled, whole.  It’s the treasure that gives joy, where sorrow once reigned.  It’s the treasure that secures each of us to the bloody altar of a crucified Christ and releases us from every judgment that was once ours.  What was a death sentence over us has now become an invitation to a brand new life toward us.

Oh’ friend, you talking about dancing… when you start this adventure, you of all people will be dancing with a joy that is unspeakable and full of glory!  So, get in the flow and experience a NEW life in Christ Jesus today!

By the way, if you call me today and I don’t answer, please understand I am out of the office… I am on the adventure!
