Living in Motion

A big problem we face in life is living in the moment rather than the motion. A problem we face in this is we only seem to experience God in what we need in that moment when there is so much more God has for us.

Think of it like this: Your phone can make calls, and in the moment, you might need it to call someone. But your smartphone can and should be used for so much more.

There is so much on offer from God, and just like a phone, there can be apps and benefits that we aren’t using. We shouldn’t live life in:

  • What suits me NOW?
  • What helps me NOW?
  • Who is nice to me NOW?
  • Who is draining from me NOW?
  • Do I need God NOW?

A great example of this is how we experience God's grace. The first thing that comes to mind with God's grace is his forgiveness. We all fall short of the glory of God, we all miss the mark; but rather than a teacher giving us a failing mark, God's grace says try again. 

We automatically think of God's grace only as forgiveness because that works for us in the moment. It covers the mistakes we make and gives us another chance to keep running toward Him. But what about when we don't feel like we've messed up or missed the mark? Do we still need God's grace in our lives? OF COURSE WE DO!

Have you ever felt like you're not enough? Not strong enough? Not smart, brave, or talented enough? The goodness of God is that when we don't feel like enough, His grace MAKES us enough. In Timothy, it says, "I am grateful to the one who made me equal to the task." God's grace doesn't bring challenges in life down; it raises us up! 

When we don't feel courageous, God's grace gives us courage. When we don't have the answers, God's grace gives us the right moments to say the right thing. When we don't have the strength to get out of bed in the morning, God's grace helps us to our feet.

Experience the fullness of God's grace today. Not just in the moments, but in every moment going forward for the rest of your days.

Living in Motion

We seem to keep revisiting problems in life or situations one way or another; and it can get frustrating if you don't realize that's how life is meant to be experienced. Life is more like a game of monopoly; you've got to keep going! Keep building up in every season to make the next one better; that's how God intended it. Every day matters.
