The Christian life is active, not passive.
It’s so easy to start letting life happen to us. There’s so much to do.
Information to process. Schedules to manage. Emails to check. Laundry to fold, practices to get to and homework to be done.
The pace is crazy. If we’re not careful, we can become passive observers in our own lives.
Here’s the problem: If we’re passive, then we’ll not be able to do all that God has called us to do.
Not only will our worldview be shaped in ways we don’t want, but we’ll miss out on the opportunities around us every day to have that conversation, pray for a friend, share the Gospel, and spend time with God.
The Apostle Peter put it this way:
“Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 1:13)
Followers of Jesus are not to become distracted. We are to be clear-headed and ready to act.
Are you a passive observer in your own life? You don’t have to be. God can help you change that starting today.
