There are many who function day-to-day and are merely surviving. Meaning are you doing the things that you’re called to do or is your growth stagnant. Everyone experiences barriers in life. We all have battled variances of life choices, right? There is addiction, abuse, mental illness, and then there’s simply you are just comfortable where you are and not seeking any form of change. When you really look at those two words, living and functioning, they are synonymous and lead to purpose. Hebrews 4:12, NLT: “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”
What innermost thoughts has God been exposing to you? Has he been speaking to you? And are you not being obedient? Has he been telling you to get your finances in order? Are you being tormented by experiences where you may need to forgive and move on? This would be for your benefit not the benefit of the other person, thing, or situation. Is he telling you that you need to forgive yourself? That whatever occurred you did not have control and need to let it go! Whatever the challenges are that you may be facing, God is ultimately in control! However, there is work that we must do on our end! I challenge you to sit in quiet to see and hear what God is exposing in your life!
Today decide to come out of survival mode and Shift into Living and Functioning in your purpose.
