For the past few weeks one of the audio books I’ve been listening to is the Four Hour Body by Tim Ferris. (Caution there is some adult language and a couple of very adult topics included)
Overall the book has been pretty good but there has been one phrase that really grabbed me. Tim does a lot of strategic testing of supplements and exercise strategies using himself as the test subject. In one experiment he tried a certain dosage of a natural supplement and reported:
No Observable Effect Level
Basically he took a supplement, waited a little while, and nothing happened. That statement hit me square in the mouth becuase, it sounds a lot like my faith at times. I hear a good message that seemed to be just for me, or I read a passage of scripture that speaks to my soul, I drink it in, and nothing happens. There is No Observable Effect Level.
I became a Believer at the age of 8 and went pro in 2001 when I joined the Injoy team to help serve and grow the church. This year as I want to explode in my passion and ability to serve leaders of the church. I want re-engage my decision a decade ago to see my work as worship and to play for the love of the game. I’m praying for God to increase my passion and ability to serve the church.
How about you? What change are you praying for?
Is there an observable effect, or are you playing for a pay check?
