Here’s what stood out to me from Chapter 5 of Chasing Daylight by Erwin McManus…
- Divine moments require us to move from the invisible to the visible so that the invisible can become visible.
- Its about volunteering when God is asking, “Who will go on my behalf?”
- It is so much easier to choose to be invisible. Oh, there are other words for ‘invisible’ – average, mediocre, normal, compliant, predictable, safe – and the list could go on and on.
- The most important decisions of our lives will require us to forsake invisibility and risk becoming visible. Whenever you choose to seize divine moments, you move from invisibility to visibility.
- Some moments carry within them the capacity to shape a lifetime…The greater that moment’s opportunity, the greater the risk required.
- The moment in which we have the most to gain is also the moment we have the most to surrender…the greatest opportunities require the highest risk.
- Women and men who seize divine moments embrace the inherent dangers that come with them. Divine moments oftentimes require us to put our own well-being aside for the well-being of others, to relinquish our safe places for the sake of others.
- It requires us to move from the isolation of our invisibility to the dangers of visibility if we are going to make the invisible visible.
- Our action invokes God’s activity. It is as if God is waiting for someone to trust Him enough to act on His Word.
- (Philippians 4:8-9, 12-13) Do you hear what He’s telling us? Think any God thoughts you want; do any God deeds you desire to do. Do it boldly. Whatever the cost. Circumstances cannot rob you of the joy of life.
