Description

Assumptions are powerful. They shape how we see ourselves, God, and the world around us. But often our assumptions are cages that keep us from the Spirit-led life God intends. Moses assumed he was disqualified because of his past failure, his lack of eloquence, and his limitations (Exodus 3–4). Yet God still called him to lead Israel out of Egypt, reminding him, “I will be with you.” Mark Batterson writes: “Not only does God disrupt our routines, like we explored in the last chapter; He also challenges our assumptions. Assumptions that take all the mystery and majesty out of life.” When we live by assumptions, we shrink our vision down to what feels possible. But when we live by faith, we see that “with God all things are possible.” The Spirit calls us to trust His promises, not our perceived limitations. To chase the Wild Goose, we must be willing to challenge the ceilings we’ve placed on God and step into His adventure.
