God Designed the Soul of a Man for Adventure

God designs the soul of a man for adventures and exploits. In doing so, God calls him to a life of discipleship in his career and ministry (Matthew 16:24; 28:19). Yet, if a man has a family, God also calls him to be a Christ-like husband (Ephesians 5:23) and a spiritual leader and teacher of his children (Proverbs 22:6). We seem bent on pitting these callings against each other, like boxers in a ring. But, as long as all of them are ordained by God, they should do more than just coexist, but actually thrive together. Each calling is meant to be a single thread, interwoven into the common fabric of a man's adventure.

I like that "life as an adventure" because sometimes it feels like a grueling triathalon or a contest as to who wins dad/hubby's attention today. It seems we need to live life disciplined, open to others, sharing our giftings and wisdom, and always following God. It could be nothing but an adventure!
