Imagine.The lights dim; high-powered colored lights flash; the crowd cheers; the spotlight is on you. The world’s a stage and you want to be the only actor in full view. The blinding spotlight shuts off God but you go about basking in the limelight of being the center of everyone’s attention. Ever experienced that before? I have.
I’ve been a part of a band made up of like-minded Christians who frequently share the gospel through evangelistic concerts. You would expect that being in a Christian band would enable everyone to perform with the right motives. But, sometimes, that isn’t the case.
The allure of the stage is something unexplainable, only experiential. Having people clap after each song, coming up to you after a program and telling you how well you’ve done is a great feeling. Soon enough, the spotlight is what many performers crave after.
It beckons the question: Do we yearn to have the light of the world upon us or to be the light of the world?

Bold FaithRead: Numbers 13:25-33
Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!” (v.30).
Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” He said. “Take courage. I am here!” (Matthew 14:27).
Recently, a 6-year-old boy missed his morning bus to school. Determined not to miss his school breakfast or gym class, the tyke grabbed the keys to his parents’ car, crept out of the house as his mother slept, and drove nearly 6 miles toward his school. The Associated Press report gave amazing detail of the boy’s remarkable jaunt: “He made at least two 90-degree turns, passed several cars and ran off the rural two-lane road several times before hitting an embankment and utility pole about a mile and a half from school.”
What this young boy did was obviously illegal and dangerous, but some people will admire his take-charge mentality.
I imagine that when he grows up, he might be something like Caleb, the fierce Israelite warrior who tenaciously challenged Israel to confront her enemies.
Caleb faced strong opposition to his challenge, however. For the people of the land appeared to hold an overwhelming advantage. “They are stronger than we are!” Israel’s other scouts argued (v.31).
The dire probabilities of the Israelites’ violent demise should have melted any sane man’s courage. (v.32). Israel’s enemies were menacing. Physically, they were huge. Some were giants that made the Israelite spies seem “like grasshoppers” by comparison (v.33). Still, Caleb was undeterred.
But Caleb wasn’t some zealous warrior without good sense. He wasn’t overly confident in his battle-tested skill, nor had he turned a blind eye to the gravity of their situation. Caleb simply believed God. God had spoken, telling Israel that the land would be theirs. And he believed.
When God calls you to some seemingly impossible task, will you have the bold faith of Caleb—faith to believe and obey?
What is God calling you to do that will require bold faith? What is holding you back from following His leading?

Personal Prayer
Whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret.
-Matthew 6:6 (NRSV)
I went to church, but I came away feeling empty. It was not the sermon or the people with whom I spent Sunday morning. It was me; I needed to find ways to have positive, personal prayer. I needed to go into my room and close the door, to spend more time alone with God, to pray each day, and to be specific about what I needed from God.
In Matthew 6:5-8, I saw five things Jesus was saying. Once I recognized them, they changed me and the way I pray. Now when I pray, I believe that God is listening and will respond. I believe in miracles. I do not give up on prayer; I pray and pray and pray, knocking on the Lord's door until it opens. I expect something great to happen, and I pray specifically.
Now I pray every day in a private place. I simply speak to God as I would talk to my father. I try to be responsible and to work with God instead of saying, "I'm in a mess. Save me!" I tell God exactly what is going on in my life, and we work together to find solutions. Because I am not relying on church as my only avenue for relating to God, going to church has become more rewarding.
