It is an exciting time right now in our life for Jason's new position at LifePointe. So, lately I have been thinking about transitions. It seems like they are always a part of life...either we're transitioning out of something old and transitioning into something new, or we're transitioning into something different and out of something else. I guess life is one big process of discovery and it seems to me that in life you have to keep moving and going forward otherwise you are going to start going backward. We cannot stay in the same place, we're either growing in our faith or we're going backward, there is no in between. It just cannot co-exist together. So when there is transition taking place, we can either utilize our faith and have it strengthened in order to believe God to work in the situation and circumstances, or we can let the opportunity pass us by and let our faith get weak and get dull. Exercising our faith helps us have more faith to believe God for even bigger things that would seem impossible us to believe for because we have not built up our spiritual strength see it happen in our lives. It is so true that you of don't use it you lose it. I am amazed that stuff that seems so trivial can really zap our spiritual zeal. Watching tv, surfing the internet, even participating in gossip or unfiltered conversations and music with questionable lyrics. Each one of us has been given a measure of faith, the same measure, so what we do with it is our choice. We can either nurture and feed it so that it grows, or we can neglect and ignore it, so that it gets weak. Yes, we can have weak faith, but it doesn't have to stay that way. God wants us to be strong in our faith which means that there is a choice of the opposite, and that we have to choose. Begin to overcome spiritual dullness by exercising your faith. Ways you can do this is by meditating on the Word of God. (See Life Training-Brainwork on Jason's blog for a more in depth look at how to do this.) I am so thankful that we have excercised our faith so that we can be where we are today. Not only that, I am thankful that God has done more than we can ask, think or imagine with this transition and brought more resources to help us in the plan and call that He has for our lives. It all begins with excercising your faith so that it grows so that you can keep gaining momentum for even bigger things that He has for your life!
