Everyone on the face of the earth,at some point in life, has a time where they set certain goals, dreams and aspirations. Whether they are personal, family oriented, work or even ministry. Things we have deep desires for, and set out with great passion to complete. We hit the ground running, starting off great with high hopes and enthusiasm. We are organized, disciplined and determined. We plan every aspect of what we feel we need to be successful in this area of our life..Then seemingly out of nowhere we apply the breaks.. We come to a screeching halt and find ourselves stuck in a rut, unsure of how to proceed, wondering how we got so far off the beaten path.. We think back to what could have possibly happened that has caused us to be so far of course from our destination.
We think of all of the possible culprits; distractions, doubts and fears and say surely it must have been on of these three things, that has veered us of course. Most often this is correct, but there is one culprit we always seem to leave out: THE STATE OF COMFORT!!
During our journey to accomplish our various goals, dreams and aspirations, we get comfortable. Comfortable in our status, comfortable in our thinking, comfortable in our pursuits.
We get so focused on the end result we envisioned, that we lose focus on the work that it must take to get there. We allow what we have already accomplished in these areas to give us a false sense of "arrival", which causes us to stop pursuing these things prematurely. By the time we realize that we haven't actually arrived to the end of our goal, we have lost precious time, resources and discouragement begins to settle in.
But don't lose hope.. we can get back on track.
First admit that you have allowed your own vision and will, to take precedence over the vision and will of God.
Ask God for forgiveness, wisdom and strength to stay the course, as he fulfills his purposes and goals in your life according to HIS Will.
Leave your past mistakes and failures where they belong; in the past!!!
Move forward with Confidence in who God is, who you are in him, and what he has called you to do.
Lastly do spiritual checkpoints with God, to make sure you are not going ahead of him, nor lagging behind him..
Be Blessed
