Stand...Walk...Run

Psalm 1:1 says this: "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers." You notice a trend here...a slow fading to nothing! Of course, this blog is influenced from the Casting Crowns song, "Slow Fade." In this scripture the man goes from walking...to standing...to sitting. The person who was getting somewhere, now is staying dormant in their seat of "do nothing." Is this an acceptable lifestyle??? Of course not!!! We must not be satisfied with living off of past successes. We can't say, "God sure did great things last year, but I don't think He will move like that again this year." No, we can't live off of last summer, but we must "press on!" (Philippians 3:14) We have to look forward to what God is going to do this summer! He is the same today as He was then, so not only will He bless you this year like He did last, but He will do GREATER things...Beyond what we can even imagine! (Ephesians 3:20) So just like it's a slow fade going from walking to sitting, it's also a gradual process to go from sitting to walking. So now, let's pray and prepare, and watch God transition us from sitting...to standing...to walking...TO RUNNING!!! When we do that, then watch GOD show up & show off!
