Life on the Other Side
Life with a capital “L” was never designed to be lived in a stationary, status quo, mundane, lethargic, monotonous kind of state.
In reality, life with a capital “L” was designed to be motion-filled, ever-changing, challenging, energetic and exciting.
All too often we find ourselves absorbed with the routine, allowing others and circumstances to dictate the pace and quality of our living.
Perhaps that kind of life is best described by the old Greyhound slogan – “Just take the bus and leave the driving to us.”
Or the Yellow Pages slogan of – “Just let your fingers do the walking.”
God never intended for us to be passive observers in life, but He wanted us to become faith-filled, active, exploit achieving, daring men and women of accomplishments.
- Adam was to tend the garden meaning to keep, cultivate, protect – all words demanding activity and achievement.
- Noah was to build an ark meaning to design, construct, finish – words demanding intelligence, creativity, work – 120 years of it.
One thing is certain – there is no time for idleness, slothfulness, laziness, lethargy or inertia.
God is always moving in the earth, directing His people, speaking His plans, encouraging us to experience Him in His great endeavors.
Perhaps it is time for us to hear the words of Psalm 68:1 – Let God arise and His enemies be scattered.
Too many people love the security of sameness. God never changes, but His means and methods are ever changing.
