“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 NKJV)
A number of years ago I met Phil Vischer, the creator of VeggieTales, so I decided to read his book “Me, Myself, and Bob: A True Story About Dreams, God, and Talking Vegetables.” The book documents the rise and fall of VeggieTales. After VeggieTales declared bankruptcy and the dream fell apart, Phil did some soul searching. And in the book he shares some honest thoughts and questions. Let me share one question and one thought.
Here’s the question: “What do you love more, your dream or God?”
Here’s the thought: “At long last, after a lifetime of striving, God was enough. Not God and impact or God and ministry. Just God.”
Alright, I lied. Here’s one more thought: “The impact God has planned for us doesn’t occur when we’re pursuing impact. It occurs when we’re pursuing God.”
