Scripture:

My Takeaways

Something Old

“Seeing the continual drift to disobedience makes one less and less confident of man but more and more impressed with the mercy and grace of God.” - David Guzik

Oh, how easy it is to drift or stagnate when things become too…

  • Adverse: “I’m tired. I thought God had me.” 
  • Awesome: “I’ve got it. I don’t really need God.”
  • Ordinary: “I’m bored. The world offers more excitement than God.”

The child of God can’t: 

  • Simply drift.
  • Stay stagnant.

To avoid the drift, the child of God must

  • Stay in the Word, even and especially when things are adverse, awesome, and ordinary.
  • Surrender to the work of Holy Spirit, even and especially when things are adverse, awesome, and ordinary.
  • Surround myself with fellow Believers who closely follow the Lord, even and especially when things are adverse, awesome, and ordinary.

“The sedentary life is most subject to diseases: standing waters soon putrefy. It is hard and happy not to grow worse with liberty.” - John Trapp

Something New

About Shamgar

An ox goad: a stick about 8 feet long (about 2.5 meters), and about 6 inches (15 cm) around at the larger end of the stick. One end of the ox goad was pointed (for poking the ox), and the other end was like a chisel (for scraping the plow clean of dirt)

“Shamgar was like Moses and his shepherd’s staff or David and his shepherd’s sling. God uses simple things to accomplish great things.” - David Guzik

Something to do

Do whatever it takes to avoid a sedentary faith life.
