No Shortcuts

The bible tells us that God teaches us “line upon line, precept upon precept.” That may be too slow for some of us but He knows that it’s the best way to learn! There’s no short cuts in the kingdom of God. Minute by minute, step by step, trial by trial, experience by experience….I might have some bad news for those of you who think growing in Christ is going to be quick and easy. “The elevator to success in God’s kingdom is out of order.” You and I will have to take the stairs one step at a time. The Bible says in Psalm 37:23 “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.” Have you ever been going great guns in an area and it just seems like everything is going good? You can feel yourself getting closer to your destination and then you seem to plateau for a few weeks. It’s like being on a landing in a stair well. Don’t panic and don’t give up! God is giving you a chance to catch your breath and renew your strength before you take the next flight. Success doesn’t just fall into your lap. It takes discipline, one decision and one action at a time! God is looking for men and women who will sit in His presence, walk by His side and run through life full of joy and peace….God is setting you in the place He has ordained for you before the beginning of time. And there will come a day when you can look back at your life and say, just like David in Psalm 17:5 “ My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.”
