Bored are you? Lets spice things up a bit… Lets start this week by doing everything the opposite of what we normally do. Ready… Do you shower with your clothes off? Then shower with them on. Do you eat your dinner hot? Then eat it cold. Do you relieve yourself in the toilet? Then start using your waste basket at work… hold on… That’s not exactly where we are going today… but close!
“The character of Luke Rhinehart is the fictional protagonist of cult-classic The Dice Man, a novel by George Cockroft, himself a psychologist, published in 1971.”
Excerpt From: Jeremy Dean. “Making Habits, Breaking Habits.” Apple Books.
Have you heard of the Urim and Thummin in the Old Testament… it was a little like the dice.
It’s a couple of paragraphs from Dr. Bruce Waltke’s excellent book (which I highly recommend), entitled, “Finding the Will of God” (pp. 62-64):
“The priest could use the urim and thummin to determine God’s will in a particular situation. We are not exactly sure what the urim and thummin were, but the priest carried in his breastplate perhaps two sticks or stones, one white and the other black, that would give a yes or no answer to a specific question. Should Israel be preparing for battle, they would somehow shake or toss the sticks. If they turned up black the Israelites would not go to battle, and if they turned up white they would proceed into battle with the knowledge that they were in the will of God. That is one form of divination that God allowed in the Old Testament. We read in Exodus 28:30, “Also put the Urim and the Thummin in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.”
So do you find your spiritual life a little bland?
A little boring?
Do you wish it was more risky? Maybe you have always wanted to sneak bibles into China, or go help Victor Marx rescue girls caught in sex trafficking…
Well lets play a game the next few days and spice it up a little ok?
It goes like this. Grab a dice from a game or just make your own out of a box. Get up for the next 10 days and roll the dice and here are your options.
- 1 Share your testimony with a neighbor
- 2 Witness to a stranger - share the gospel
- 3 Pray for a stranger who has a need
- 4 Pray for the sick
- 5 Memorize a scripture and share it with a coworker
- 6 Give a non-believer a bible
I believe most men are to comfortable and because of that their spiritual walk is flat and lifeless. This is why we love mission trips- it gives us an excuse to risk it.
