Rise: Stepping Up To God's CallSample

How Walls Fall

Do you ever wish life was exciting all the time, like a great Snap story? That every moment you lived was full of laughter, adventure and a little fear? Often, life can seem boring, mundane. We get into all kind of trouble trying to make life exciting again. 

Thought:

I’m sure the first couple days the army walked around the wall it was pretty exciting. Put yourself in their place: at least you were doing SOMETHING! But I would imagine by day 3 or 4, your mind would wonder “What are we even doing, walking around this wall? Nothing’s happening!”

This can be where a lot of us are in our Christian walk. We feel like we have done this before, and nothing is happening. But when we trust God in the mundane times, where we are not sure what’s happening, He is laying the groundwork for something AMAZING! Trust Him even when your life isn’t too exciting.

Challenge:

1. YOUR WALL! What wall do you feel you are just “walking around?” Do you feel like there may be a reason behind it? What can you tell yourself to remind you that God is working?
2. TRUST HIM! Think about some of the major “walls” in your life. Pray and ask God: what is it that you need to trust in Him for, what is it that He needs you to do?
3. DO THE SMALL THINGS! Take time this week to focus and pray about your struggle. Be diligent in the small things God is asking you to do (youth group, church on Sunday, serving). Show Him that you trust Him, and He will begin to work the miracles.
