“Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy.” 1 Peter. 1:14:16. Message Translation.
How is your christian life? Are you excited about your salvation and eager to work with Jesus? Or are you rushing around life without a stable direction. Let me tell you: it doesn’t have to be that way. Do not settle for a mediocre version of life and Christianity. “For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it.” I don’t want you to be one of such people. Don’t lazily slip back into those old ways, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness.
Do not settle for a mediocre version of faith. Otherwise you will miss the best stuff: you will miss the life with God. Christianity is not just about being saved from hell. It is also about being empowered for living. Also, remember that it’s not YOU making your faith dazzling. Rather it is about you embracing what God is doing in and through your life. Hence, if you rush to do what the world demands you, you miss the most significant things in life: peace, purpose, meaning, solitude, joy. And sweet and special interaction with Jesus.
Take some time to evaluate how you’re doing, how is your faith doing. Do you feel God’s love in your bones, are you fired up for Jesus? If no, it is time for you to slow down and let the Holy Spirit minister to you. Let yourself be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life. God wants to give you a life energetic and blazing with holiness. He wants what’s best for you. Do not settle for a mediocre version of faith. Ask for a dazzling version of faith. You’re worth it.
