Living Out Of The Rut
Living Out Of The Rut
If your vehicle has ever been stuck in a rut, you know how frustrating it can be. You move a few feet forward then slip back again. All the while, mud, snow or both are flying all over the place. After a lot of energy, you end up where you started.
Sometimes, life is no different. We can get caught up in the same old pattern of living which ultimately robs us of all God has planned for our lives.
After years of frustration and despair, many throw in the towel and settle for something far less than God has planned for us. Some may give up on a career, a marriage – even their faith in God.
Ready to Fly
Have you ever visited a zoo and noticed the eagles just setting in a cage? That eagle was created to soar over mountains with wings spread wide, yet there he sits, on a branch, never to experience the power of his potential.
Many of us today are just like that eagle. We have an inner sense that life should be more exciting, our work more satisfying and our relationships more fulfilling. Without really noticing how it happened, we begin to view our circumstances as cages keeping us from true happiness: If only I had a better job. If only I could break this addiction. If only I had more money. If only I was single (or married, or married to someone else).
