Breakthrough How To Get Unstuck With God's Breakthrough預覽

Catalysts of Change (4 of 5)

What does it take to get Unstuck?

Yesterday, Day 3, we looked at the Dead End Drivers – the little engines in our lives that took us down a path of being stuck.

When we feel stuck we often need to take some action that will lead to the breakthrough. The action we are searching for is the catalyst.

What we really want is not the catalyst, but what a catalyst brings: change.

Change. Isn’t that what we ultimately seek when we are searching for a breakthrough?

Doing the same things we did that led us to become stuck will unlikely lead to breakthrough. It will likely lead to more of the same.

Some kind of change, even if seemingly small and imperceptible, must happen.

That agent for change, the spark, the push is a catalyst.

In chemistry, a catalyst is an external substance that creates the change without, itself, changing.

There are new patterns and new habits that draw from the word of God that help us change.

They all rest on the biggest catalyst of all -- Christ.  He never changes, yet when we turn to Him and obey His word, our life changes.

The key, then, is to know best how to see Christ and follow Him in ways that allow transformation of the Gospel to work its way through us.

This is more than just passive "wishful thinking."  It's being active, obedient, and let God do his work.
