"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith." --Romans 1:17
I had a hard time with this devotion today. "Maybe you've been coasting lately, thinking that perhaps you've reached your limits. You're not stretching your faith." The author is talking about a goal that you've been trying to reach and just haven't gotten all the way there yet like losing weight or paying off credit cards. My issue is really more one of not knowing what goals to strive to reach. I know my fitness goal has gotten a little lax but I've been back at the gym this week and feeling better about it. Healthier eating....well, yes, that could use some work too.
There's just nothing motivating me to strive at the moment. Nothing on the horizon that looks like I want to go after it. That's what I've been praying about and looking to see. In a way, that is coasting. Just living life, status quo and focusing on everyone else. Maybe God is giving me this time to look around and be open to whatever is in store for me.
I'm always blown away by episodes on "Oprah" when someone has seen a previous episode and then you find out that they've gone and done something truly amazing because they were so inspired. I can just imagine the feeling they had that they were so compelled to act on their feeling, they let nothing stand in their way. It has to be an amazing thing to experience.
Something to think about.
