God’s set things up so that your relationship with him keeps getting better and better. What happens if you realize things have stalled out?
God’s set things up so that your relationship with him keeps getting better and better. What happens if you realize things have stalled out?
Years ago I remember my pastor saying, “There is something you are doing that God likes, do it more. There is something you are doing that God doesn’t like, stop doing that. There is something that God wants you to do that you aren’t, do it.”
Just changing three things could help a stall.
You’re right, many times simple obedience is the issue.
Part of Jesus’ counsel to the churches (Revelation 2-3) was turn around and do the first works. In other words, pick up at the point where things were alive! If there’s a stall, that means at some point we got out of God’s ability and into our own. That’s a frustrating place to be. Human ability cannot produce the life of God. How do you get out of your ability and back into God’s?
