Like any relationship, we have to guard against complacency. Relationships don’t shrivel overnight; it is a slow withdrawal that destroys relationships over months and years. In our relationship with God, we also must guard our hearts. Complacency and cynicism can destroy the vibrancy of our faith. Distractions are another avenue. As we continue our series on Consecration, we invite you to watch the video, or listen to the podcast as you drive, sip on your coffee, or at the gym. We hope this message helps to stoke the fires of your faith this week.
It is easy for us to to get discouraged in our spiritual life. Whether personally or as a part of an imperfect community, we lament the slow progress, frustrations, and trials of everyday life. It is in times like these that we need to anchor our hope in God’s activity around us. When we remember what God did for his people in the Word of God, or in contemporary examples, our perspective and our hearts are elevated. This past Sunday, we learned about the incredible 24-7 prayer that lasted 100 years through the Moravians. Their faithfulness and consecration was used by God in phenomenal ways that continues three hundred years later.
