Sure, you can choose the safety and predictability of the cage, forfeiting the adventure God has destined for you. But you won't be the only one missing out or losing out. When you lack the courage to chase the Wild Goose, the opportunity costs are staggering. Who might not hear about the love of God if you don't seize the opportunity to tell them? Who might be stuck in poverty, stuck in ignorance, stuck in pain if you're not there to help free them? Where might the advance of God's kingdom in the world stall out because you weren't there on the front lines?
Mark BattersonI think faith is the small mustard seed of opportunities every day. For example, 'Am I going to love this person? Am I going to share my faith with this person? Am I going to pray that little prayer?' It really is a daily thing where you seize those little mustard seed opportunities and then see what God does.
Mark BattersonHave you ever noticed that when you pray, coincidences happen? And when you don't, they don't.
Mark BattersonWhen God blesses you financially, don't raise your STANDARD OF LIVING. raise your STANDARD OF GIVING.
Mark BattersonPrayer is the difference between seeing with our physical eyes and seeing with our spiritual eyes.
