Deuteronomy 4

(msg) vs. 9 Just make sure you stay alert. Keep close watch over yourselves. Don't forget anything of what you've seen. Don't let your heart wander off. Stay vigilant as long as you live. Teach what you've seen and heard to your children and grandchildren.

So simple and so what I needed this morning. I seem to be in a place where I 'see' You and Your work in others and want to desperately make them aware of what I see. I can read back through my blogs, documenting my journey and see...I don't know I just know that I see You and Your hand all over the place and it seems to be a time to remind others of what I see...risking everything about what 'they' might think about me .....to in the risk realize more and more I can't care what it looks like I HAVE to follow where He leads......

THIS really got me the other day....what are YOUR thoughts??
we are explorers
“The reward of the search is to go on searching. The soul’s desire is fulfilled by the very fact of its remaining unsatisfied; for really to see God is never to have had one’s fill of desiring Him” - Gregory of Nyassa

We really are explorers. Its part of what it means to be human. To taste God is to be driven to an eternal quest to know him more. It always amazes me when people think they have arrived at the knowledge of God. When people come to that point, all they believe is an idol.
