You Can’t go Overboard Enough

Thursday, November 2, 2023

Peter saw the Lord from the boat and went overboard, literally. He was perfectly in God’s will, stepping out in faith with his eyes on the Lord. Often, when you’re about to step out in faith for God, friends and family say, “you’re going overboard.” But are you? You can go overboard for what you think is God’s will but it isn’t, for a doctrinal bandwagon, an idea, a movement, or a cause; but you can never go overboard enough for God. Rather, it’s when we put things or idols above God and our passion isn’t on Him first that we’re overboard. God by definition is the One you go all out for. People go crazy at rock concerts, jump up and down at sporting events, and the world thinks it’s fine, but start going crazy for God and they think you’re going overboard. Scripture says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.” In other words, go crazy for God. Step out of the boat and go all out. Because in God, the only way to go overboard, is to not go overboard enough.

From Message #601 – The Balance of Balance 
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:4
