Complacency Verses Peace
What drives your world?
|
|
There is a certain comfort that comes from routine, from knowing what to expect: |
-
That first sip of coffee in the morning.
-
The squeak of the mail carrier’s brakes.
-
The welcome of a certain pillow after the evening news.
|
But too much routine, too much sameness, can often cause us to become complacent. It’s a subtle thing. It's not as if we get there on purpose. We simply wake up one morning and realize that life has become ordinary. Needs are met. Life is predictable. And faith … well … because it has no need to rise, faith lies
dormant.
But then there is a stirring. A churning on the inside signaling that maybe, just maybe, it is time for the seasons to change. We ponder. We consider. We wait. Then ... suddenly, the uncertainty of the unknown yields to the promise that our footsteps are ordered by the Lord.
Faith rises in our hearts, and the familiar foundation of routine is replaced by the knowledge that great and wonderful exploits of faith await us. We step out, led by peace, and we behold His glory.

What drives your world? Is there a stirring in your soul? Take inventory.
You may just find the need to change, to turn a corner, or to begin anew. |
