Satisfied?

Apathy is an easy animal to embrace in all aspects of our life. Why is that so? I personally believe it is in mans nature to try and be at rest. Find a place where we feel comfort. A runner will set goals to get to this spot in training and then take a short rest. Then they start up again. Those that work the 40 hour work week get home and shut down for awhile as home is their place of rest.



The Apostle Paul called life this long distance race of endurance that is run on an incline. The meaning of course is that if you are not moving forward, you probably are going back in reverse a little. The win is found in completion, not necessarily in finishing first. The people that lose are those that wish to just stop completely.



One example is the great stand America has just made against socialism, Islam and the horrible policies of Obama. Even he admits he is failing, yet he holds on to his Ideology which has failed and been destructive world wide. Yes many of the socialists were voted out and rightfully so. But that is just the door being opened. People need to be constantly reminded why they were voted in. We have to repeal these socialistic laws. We need to get a proven and competent man to lead in the 2012 elections. This is just a start. It is part of an ongoing journey.



It is the same way with our lives in Christ. Do we stop along the way and think this is good? Or do we engage daily and invite him to live through us? When Jesus is living through you the incline goes away. The incline represents life's frustrations. He stated that if we trade our burdens for his, the weight would be minimal. Then we constantly look at the prize instead of seeing the road traveled as such of a drudgery.



Embrace truth and it sets you free from the issues that would overcome and rule you.
