Flat-Footed Faith

Christianity has become a spectator sport. So many people who consider themselves Christians have merely checked the box on a set of theological facts about Jesus Christ, presumably gotten their ticket punched to Heaven, and live as if there is nothing more to salvation and faith. An ancient passage from the book of Ezekiel reminds us that to walk in faith means a steady progress of being led by God into greater depths of experience with Him. If your feet can still touch bottom, then you have failed to move into the deep waters with Christ. Christians are meant to live in a state of being in over our heads. Flat-footed faith means you are still in control of everything. Moving into the deep currents of trust and surrender is where God wants to take you, and Ezekiel’s experience shows us both the process and benefits of moving into the deep with God.
