The Edge of Eternity, Proverbs 2

"He holds victory in store for the upright . . ."

Proverbs 2:7
"Edge of Eternity" by Dave Makin (using mathematical fractals software)

Do you live on the edge? This term is usually reserved for visionaries and juggernauts. I remember a "hot shot" sales representative tell some of his associates, in an effort to motivate them, that "If you aren't living on the edge, you are taking up too much room."

A Christian "on fire" for God realizes that he is living on the edge of eternity, pushing and expanding territory for the kingdom. Interestingly, this focus applies in business, in ministry, at home, and in the community. If you don't feel under attack in your efforts, then something may be wrong. When we attempt to do the miraculous, we find ourselves depending more and more on God's direction and when we are showing signs of success, the enemy must try to contain the advancements. According to the prayer of Jabez, we need protection from the enemy. We don't want to fight the battle ourselves, we want to create skirmishes and walk in the protection of the almighty.


"The Prayer of Jabez" I Chronicles 4:10

Proverbs 2:20 - "Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous."

We want to seek God's protection and walk in his blessing. I love the quote from General Patton "Your job is not to die for your country, but to make the other dumb bastard die for his." We want to avoid evil, to avoid harm, but we want to advance in the battle realizing that God is with us and leading the way. Is he expanding your territory? With more territory comes more responsibility.

On Mission, On Assignment, and in the ZONE!
