I really am deeply convicted about my need to grow in the Word and continue to move forward in God. If I were to be honest with myself I'd have to say that I'm probably softer and lazier than I've ever been. I've grown so comfortable in my life that I just don't want to move. Ouch. I clicked on this link here and read my own Words from 2007. They applied so much to where I'm at that it was almost scary. Double ouch.
God, please help me to put action into these convictions. I'm so far from where I need to be. I know you give us goals not to condemn us but to give us direction so we know where to aim. Please help me to focus my effort and energy into Your direction and goals for my life.

After reading this and rereading it a few times, only one thing zoomed to the forefront of my mind: It is God who works in you (us) to will and to act according to His good purposes.
It's so tricky to find the balance between allowing Him to work and meeting Him at all the places we need to.
But if it is God who works in us to will -- and you are "will"ing to move deeper into the Word and discipline, etc. -- then He has to finish the promise by helping you to act it out. That's pretty remarkable.
You know I ain't preaching...just pondering and processing. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this stuff, because it spurs on my faith and my conviction and my walk.
Now if I can figure out how to keep me out of the way so He can will me to action...
