Doing Irrational Things - October, 2015

Last night while we were doing the dishes, Kim asked if we could "keep listening to the tape of that lady." I had started listening to a series of cassette tapes from a Sally Clarkson conference. I was rather surprised, but pleased that she was interested in listening to Sally talking about godly motherhood.

One thing Sally said on that tape was, "Faith is what ignites us to be able to do irrational things."

How many things are you going to do today that, from the world's view, are irrational?

• homeschool
• care for aged parents
• disciple our children 24/7
• live on one income
• honor our spouse
• I'm sure you could add to the list.

Why do we do these irrational things? Because we have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe, Who tells me that He will

• equip me for the tasks of each day
• faithfully supply our needs
• provide me with the strength for each day
• impart His wisdom to me
• show me new mercies every morning
• make my labor not be in vain

and, by faith, I believe Him.
