Don't Settle

Learning to drive in the country, most certainly, involves navigating basic rugged terrain … yeah, dirt roads.  You know what happens to dirt roads when it rains? They turn into a muddy mess then you learn to maneuver slipping and sliding from ditch-to-ditch.  Yeehaw!

Ever been spiritually stuck?  You may not have ever had your tires spinning in muck and mire but we all know what “stuck” is!  Hebrews speaks of an elementary-level spiritual life that Christians must move past.  To have moved freely on the open road, stuck in a ditch or in mud  is not a happy-place.  Once Believers have drank lavishly of the teachings and doctrines of Jesus Christ the Messiah, their longings are intensified.  Those truly born of The Spirit do not only taste the Word of God, but rather … drink It in.  Once we have savored the sweetness of The Word, anything less leaves the Believer thirsty and wonting. The deep craving of the soul must be nourished and fed, “advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belong to spiritual maturity.” (Hebrews 1:1)   Let us stay hungry, seek the deep things of God, bask in the goodness of The Gospel, and feed of Its rich and deeply satisfying treasure.  Never, never settle for “stuck.”
