So you sit there just waiting on God and you feel the Holy Spirit start to speak to you. God says right, what I want you to do is this. When you go to school tomorrow I want you to grab a bunch of mates and go out to the sports field. Then I want you to march to one end of the football field and should glory to God. After that, I want you to march to the other end and shout Jesus is saviour. Do that seven times and I God will make every iPod and MP3 player blast out choruses of Hallelujah. Well I don’t know about you but my first though might be to lay off the cheese before I go to bed and to check that someone wasn’t slipping something dodgy into my coke. It seems to me that when ever God picks someone in the Bible to do something great, what they are asked to do sounds a bit loopy. Build an ark where there is no water. Dance naked down the street. Shout at the walls of a city. Worship a baby in a cow shed. Is it possible that God is looking for complete commitment? I mean after all, he could have us do something a little less loopy, but may he wants us to go the whole way. What loopy thing is God asking you to do, that you are just ignoring? Maybe it’s not so mad after all. Maybe checking in with a leader that you trust, might be worth doing, because maybe you are going to do something great for God.
