A Go-First Philosophy

“And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.” – 2 Corinthians 8:5 Early in my life I developed a go-first philosophy that has served me well. Young boys do careless things, but when their actions aren’t too absurd like jumping off a high dive or swinging on a rope, I learned you just have to get it over with. The more you think about it, the more you want to get out of doing it. We can learn to trust God and immediately cross the chasm of fear.  The benefits of this philosophy was solidified in high school when I ended up being the first student in my class to present their science project. No one wanted to go first; everyone wanted more time to prepare. But going first ended up being a blessing!
