Thought for the Day

"God teaches us what He wants us to know so the whole body of Christ will be fitly joined together - and it all works just fine when His people adhere to the truth they already know, and build upon their faith, truth upon truth.  But some truths are hard and the lazy believer will trade in a hard truth for something more suitable to their liking, thereby stopping their own spiritual growth and interfering with the progress of the whole body of Christ. 

It=s easier for them that way.  They hear what they want to hear and they do what they want to do.  They decide what they will do, where they will go, who they will forgive, how much they will give, what they will be in agreement with in the Lord and what they will not give over to God. 

When they hear the voice of God, they procrastinate. They make excuses. They hide from the revelation. They act like nothing happened. They stay where they were, and where they are is where they want to stay. But for those who don't hold on to their past too tightly:

• For those who aren't satisfied with last decades experience
• For those who aren't Ok with eternal stagnation
• For those who aren't ready to quit
• For those who aren't standing still

God reveals truth upon truth and takes us from faith to faith to get from glory to glory and God does this day by day."
