The Trap of Normality!
I’ve had a strange experience in life over the past few weeks and months, As i’ve looked at my family I see so much potential, potential in Amy, and this kids and myself, in Church I see so much potential, in Pastor Phil, the Elders, Deacons, Team & Cell Leaders, Teams & Cells and all members! As I look at the world of work – and don’t get me wrong here – I love my Job, But you work 40-50hrs a week, come home exhausted mentally moreso for me, my question is… Is this all life has to offer? Don’t worry i’m not on a tight rope or cliff edge.
I’m starting to see the normal or simple life and wonder have I settled for it? or have circumstances made me settle for it?
The responsibility of providing for my Wife and Kids is A big one! One i love to do, lets face it, One of mans Responsibilities is to be a provider for His Home!
But looking into the future – And don’t worry I know you can’t plan to far, but Sometimes I wonder, When or how that change will happen or come about, or sometimes I wonder if I’ll be able to stretch beyond lifes comforts to be able to find that for which God has for me.
Sometimes Life involves an element of Risk or maybe its Faith? Whether it be buying a new house, going for a new career, getting married, a 6 month mission trip, 3 year course full time at a college… life will always be full of Risks and choices that require a Mature yet Faithful Step – Don’t Rush in the decision making, but rather “Seek First the Kingdom of God” another words life a God Filled, God saturated life so that decisions are easier to make!
Don’t settle for Normal Life – God has abundant Life on the table for us all, sometimes yes we will travel through valleys of normality but always set your sights on the Abundant Life! Avoid the Trap!
