I’m not as bad as Moses. Or David. Or Abraham. I’ve never impulsively murdered someone or committed adultery or lied in a way that put my wife in danger. If I’m honest with myself, these are the types of thoughts I’ll think. But, if I continue to be honest with myself, I’ll have another thought.

I’m not as good as Moses. Or David. Or Abraham. I don’t have the boldness of Moses. I don’t have the courage of David. I don’t have the faith of Abraham. It strikes me as very interesting that many of the most celebrated people in the Bible seemed to live on the extremes. Big failures and big successes. Incredibly flawed, but wonderfully faithful. More vice and more virtue too!

It sometimes make me feel like I’m constantly living in the middle of a spectrum. In the lukewarm middle. This is not a good place to be. Would that I were either cold or hot! (Revelation 3:15)
