DAY 28 LIVE|DEAD PIONEERING

From today's reading:

Martin, Sheikdon, Christine, Colin, Libaan, Farah—all died for their faith.
All died violently. When our dear friend, Martin Utzi, was questioned about
the safety of taking his wife and young children to Somaliland, he answered,
“If what we are doing is not worth dying for, then it is not worth living for.”
Only a short time later, as his 3-year-old son looked on, sweet, gentle Martin
died from a gunshot to the head. Our friends won’t have biographies written
about them. Few people know of their sacrifice. Yet, in dying, they show us
how to live.

The author ends by asking who will go to these people?  Who will go?  Will one of us go?

As we draw nearer to the end of the Live|Dead Journey, I sense in my spirit that God is speaking to someone to go - maybe not to the Somalis, but to go somewhere. 

These hero's of the faith - Martin, Shekidon, Christine, Colin - in their death they have shown us how to live.  Is the person God is putting in my heart you? 

Lord, I pray the courage to go.  Lord, I pray the strength to surrender to your plan and your will.  Lord, I pray that the individual you are speaking to will reach out and step out in faith.  Lord, send one of us I pray.  Amen.
