#BigRead13: Day 23: Maybe

Each day we will select an extract from the Narnia novels, The Screwtape Letters or Mere Christianity, combined with a Bible passage (not necessarily restricted to Luke’s gospel), something to think about, a prayer, and an action (usually from @40Acts).

We’d love it, if you’re blogging, that you draw attention to other resources online that we can also connect with. 

C.S. Lewis, Prince Caspian

“But what would have been the good?”

Aslan said nothing.

“You mean,” said Lucy rather faintly, “that it would have turned out all right – somehow? But how? Please, Aslan! Am I not to know?”

“To know what would have happened, child?” said Aslan. “No. Nobody is ever told that.”

“Oh dear,” said Lucy.

“But anyone can find out what will happen,” said Aslan. “If you go back to the others now, and wake them up; and tell them you have seen me again; and that you must all get up at once and follow me – what will happen? There is only one way of finding out.”

Bible: Phillipians 3:13 http://bible.cc/philippians/3-13.htm

Think: How would it feel to live life without the ‘maybe ifs’?

Pray: Thank you that you are with us whatever the decisions we make in our lives, and help us to exercise our free will wisely.

Action: Check 40Acts for “Smile”
