The hardest part was convincing them to act scared. The series is called "All In". God wants us all in for the journey with Him. Nothing left on the table. Everything left on the field. All in.
That is a scary proposition.
I'm practical. I like order in my universe.
The thought of jumping in - all in - makes my heart race. What if....? What about.....? What will we do when.....?
Not easy questions to answer. Well, not easy for me to answer.
Trust. Obey. Go all in.
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name." Deut. 6:4-13
