Are you left in Neutral searching for the right path to take? Are you waiting for that Message in a Bottle to come find it’s way to you? Are you waiting for that phone call for the perfect job? Are you waiting?
Christ calls us to wait, but in the midst of waiting we must pursue what we know. We will always have enough information to take steps in moving forward rather than sitting in complacently on the couch.
Don’t wait on the couch, wait while being active. Christ calls us to move ahead and press on.

This week at Church our pastor talked about living in a state of complacency forgetting to push forward. Choosing to overlook the obstacles we face on a daily basis and keeping active should be our primary focus. If we remain complacent and focus on the obstacles we will never get around them and begin a full, healthy life in Christ. We forget how often our past controls our present failing to deal with it and move ahead. Jim (our Pastor) said “God loves working with a moving target.” Meaning, the more we are pushing ahead and trusting the Lord to provide direction, the more we move ahead and begin an extraordinary life.
I thought this was the perfect message for me this morning as I can often focus on the obstacles that lie ahead, rather then the bigger issue: “what am I doing to deepen my walk with Christ?” Sometimes I am a big planner and other times, not so much. I can fly by the seat of my pants pretty well, but sometimes I really need a schedule. When it comes to Cooper, I prefer a schedule. When it comes to traveling, I can fly by the seat of my pants. Any planning will be left to my husband as I am content just being on vacation. When it comes to our relationship with Christ, “flying by the seat of our pants” is often a good thing. God wants us to be active and pursuing His plans for our life rather than sitting on the couch hoping we will receive a letter in the mail telling us where to go.
Moment of Truth: These are my thoughts of the day for us all to soak in. Don’t remain stagnant. Christ has called us to go and make disciples. That means go, move, take action and listen for direction! What else matters in life apart from Christ? Nothing!
