Don't stay still

Sometimes we have the feeling that in life everything stays in the same place, that we aren't progressing, and it may even seem like we are going backwards. But to what extent are we contributing to this situation? Is it that things aren’t advancing, or are we the ones standing still?

Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. (Ecclesiastes 11:4)

The Bible is clear: to get out of our state of inertia, we must react, we must move. How many people followed Jesus, pursued Him, and were healed? If we already know our goals, it’s not enough to just look, we must move!

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14)

Set aside tiredness and discouragement, feed yourself with the Word, and take the first step. God wants to see your determination.

Don’t stay still. Move toward your goal!

• If you are out of strength, don’t remain silent, cry out to God. He can help you!

• Inspire yourself by reading God’s Word. Look at these verses of motivation.

To pray:

Lord, I feel like the things around me are not moving forward... and it’s taking away my spirit. Motivate my heart, pour Your power upon me. In the name of Jesus, amen.
