out of my element

My favorite verse for this week is Hebrews 10:31.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

How awesome is that. We have such a big, intense, LIVING God that it is considered fearful to fall into His hands. I love that. There's such a mystery in that. For me, the manliest of all men have always been a little bit scary. Not in a bad way, but having a certain bit of wildness leaving them so raw that it can be scary. But through that, I always feel so safe being around a man like that. That's what's so cool about this scripture I think. It's the fact that the same hands of the living God that an be so fearful to fall into are also the hands that we find such peace, love, comfort, and protection. It's just further proof to me that God is EVERYTHING all at once.

And, personally, I don't wanna serve a God that is entirely safe. That would mean that there would be no challenge to having faith in Him and that He is not willing to be dangerous for me. If God is so dangerous for me, then I want to go to dangerous extents to serve Him.

This verse really struck a cord in me, and I like it. It made me a little more fearful of the Lord.
