“Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a ‘fool’ so that he may become wise.” 1 Corinthians 3:18
In the book “There’s Always Enough,” Roland and Heidi Baker tell the story of their ministry to the poorest of the poor in Mozambique. Serving some of the most forgotten and rejected people on the planet, they often have to rely on God to provide in miraculous ways.
Through their need, they have seen God come through for them. They have even seen people raised from the dead. What struck me about this miracle, however, was not that someone was raised from the dead as much as the incredible commitment on the part of the person who prayed for the dead person. One pastor prayed through the night, non-stop, and didn’t give up until the person started showing signs of life.
What incredible faith. What commitment. Am I willing to stick with it in order to see the miracle? I have not prayed like that. Am I willing to appear absolutely foolish for God? I have not been enough of a fool for God.
Reflect: Where do you need a breakthrough or even a miracle? What are you willing to do in order to get it?
