“Stay alert; be in prayer so you don’t wander into temptation without even knowing you’re in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there’s another part that’s as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire.” Matthew 26:41 MSG
We need to be consistent in prayer and reading our word, it’s essential. God cannot work with a lazy person, so we have to stay in the face of God and surrender to our flesh! That’s how we’ll receive fresh oil and manna from God. People generally start off strong, but somewhere down the line they become lazy. We want to know more of God, we want fresh revelation and insight. We want him to move in a mighty way in our lives and our loved ones lives, but do our actions reflect that’s what we really want?!? What are we willing to sacrifice so that God’s will and purpose will be done in our lives? It will take work on our part, however the more we get to know him, the more he reveals to us. As we began to see and want more of what God wants, he becomes our strength, our lifeline, our sustainer. Our lives, our hearts and our actions will begin to reflect that of the kingdom of God.
