day 3K368: Staking Out New Ground

“But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

I don’t know that the undersea floor counts as “ground” but if it does then new and expansive ground has been found. It’s the size of a continent, literally.  It’s nearly completely underground and being called “Zelandia” with what scientists believe to be almost 2 million square miles, which is almost the size of Australia’s 2.9 million square miles. What could we do with an additional continent of land if we could figure out how to utilize it?  That is the question that many will be trying to answer now that the possibility is known.  And, that is exciting and may well trigger a future generation of possibilities and those who seek to explore, claim and develop. This should remind us that just when we think there isn’t new ground to cover or to be gained in our businesses that we just need to keep looking and looking harder.

What God wants to do in and with our lives is limitless.  Each and every day He wants us to explore more what He can do with us and asks us to walk with Him into uncharted and new areas of our life, with Him.  The questions to ask ourselves today is whether or not we are taking the steps He wants us to take to grow and learn more or have we settled into the ground that we only know now? And once we find that ground, is it what He wants us to build ourselves upon?
