Has God ever asked you to do something unusual?
I’ve been thinking about God asking the Israelites to walk in silence around the wall of Jericho. It’s an unusual request, an odd plan for bringing down a city.
What about Ruth risking her reputation and lying at the feet of Boaz? Strange advice! Advice given by her mother-in- law but blessed by the Lord.
Think about Moses being told to go to the Pharaoh and ask for the freedom of the Israelites, Noah being asked to prepare for rain when rain had never been seen before and the list goes on.
Even the cross is considered foolishness to those who are perishing. God took the most despised and shameful way of death to glorify His Son.
So I am thinking if this is how our God works, if He has been known in the past to make unusual request of his people to accomplish His will here on Earth, than shouldn’t we expect him to ask unusual things of us?
Has God ever asked you to take a step of faith that seemed to the human eye crazy or at the very least…unusual?
