Lately life seems a little mundane, almost as if everything has just come to a standstill. Yet when I look around I notice that the world is still moving, and people are moving and making things happen. What I don’t understand is even though I’m doing things, I’m not moving, or at least it feels that way.

As I sit here typing this, I realize that I have stopped living, I’m very much alive and my body is being active, but my mind, emotions and spirit are at a halt, not moving forward nor backwards, just sitting in limbo. I know God is working, because I can see it all around me, but I just don’t feel like I am a part of what He is doing. I know that it all can be just an illusion that the enemy has put before me just to make me feel as if life is passing me by. The question is, is it real, have I plateaued and there is nothing left for me to do? I don’t believe that to be true, but it is how I feel! I know that God has so much more for me to do, and so many more people to help, but I think I’m going about it the wrong way. I have been doing things my way, believing it’s the way God wanted it done (big mistake…). God was and is Intentional in what He calls us to be and do, we must be careful in how we go about His task, because He will bring you to a Standstill until you get back on track.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says; “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven!” somewhere along the way I lost my sense of time. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11; “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” I forgot that I live through Christ, in Christ, and for Christ, and when I deviate from that my world comes to a standstill until I get back to Him. Stop living for man, and even yourself, because they will wither away and die. Focus on what God called you to be and what He called you to do.  Stop just being alive and walking among the living, begin living the way God has called you to…..

He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. (Matthew 28:6)

Rise from your place of death, God has resurrected you!
