Healthy Dissatisfaction

Over the years I have learned that the Lord typically begins change in us by creating a state of agitation over the status quo. We begin to become greatly dissatisfied with the situation as it exists and start looking for cause and solution for this unrest within us.

It is important that we recognize this for what it is. It is possible to begin looking toward worldly things to settle our spirits. We must rather look to Lord and draw closer to Him through prayer and the Word.

Such a pursuit may take us through times of intense soul searching and will more than likely reveal degrees of carnality in us that we were not aware of before. Things that we thought to be of little significance will become big issues as God endeavors to lead us to new levels of Christlikeness. Sin will become a serious issue as we have more of the mind of Christ manifest in our lives.

But this is the goal, to be free of all besetting weights and sins, walking in the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Such times may not be pleasant, but they will always yield peaceable and Godly fruit in our lives as we endure and allow the loving correction and instruction of our loving Heavenly Father to accomplish it's intended purpose.

God bless
