Where
do you think the world will be in 70 years?...What investment would
God want you to make in the future of your world, as a testimony to
your faith in God? (Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary
Edition, page 1109).
God
never asks me to make an investment I cannot make. The spiritual
investments he asks of me sometimes entail investments of material
resources—but never outside the realm of what is doable. To put it in a
crass way, he never wants me to purchase a million dollar yacht when
all I can afford is a row boat. The row boat can adequately
accommodate both symbolic and practical significance. To put it another way,
God demands my best efforts within the realm of the doable, not the
impossible.
