“Not in goals, but in transitions are people great” (Emerson)
The bible records numerous key moments in the history of God’s people which mark a transition point. The book of Exodus records one such a miraculous moment when the sea parted as Moses raised his staff and stretched out his hand. The book of Joshua begins with another dramatic crossing over. In this instance a key difference was that Joshua told the priests when they reached the edge they had to take a step of faith and get their feet wet before they saw the miracle – this was at a time when the river was in full flood!
It is easy to have a passive ‘sit and see’ approach to life but God intends us to be a people on the move who follow him as those who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. It feels as though this is one such moment for courage in our journey as a College. God is increasing our trust in him as we choose to let go of the old in order to embrace the new and in so doing step from good to great.
