I then came across your post in my twitter feed.

These pair nicely.

As Oswald Chambers said “very few of us know the GO of abandonment to Jesus.

Here’s to the Wild Life!

walls of the world, and we are invited to
follow our great Captain inside. The
following Him is, of course, the essential
point. – Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis

There seems to be no more exciting and wild life than following our Lord as he ignites the landscape with the dawning of the new age. However, the prince of the power of the air will stop at nothing to keep us calm, tame, and distracted by this world and the flesh (Ephesians 2). The Great Apostle reminds us that our job is to resist the enemy with the power of God. And I think that while resisting we can find our rest and reason for existence in walking with the King.

Oh, that’s a great analogy, Richard. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for stimulating thoughts about eccentricity. I recall that when I worked in heavy industry, I had to inspect large turbines that rotated at thousands of RPM. If there was any eccentric features in a turbine rotor, it would become noisy and cause vibrations that could be felt a long distance away. If a rotor was finely balanced and the weight was distributed evenly within fine tolerances, there was minimal noise and vibration. I think that the call to be eccentric is a calling to make noise and vibration in society. What are the most significant ways that we can make noise and vibration ( ripples) in society today as followers of Jesus?
