In my sermon today (8/31), I had a part where I spoke of the need to apply truths to our lives. I suggested that there is no cruise control in the Christian life. We love cruise because we can relax and not focus like we might when we are more engaged. But in a passage like I had this morning, telling us to fight against evil forces of wickedness in this world, dress ourselves in the truths of God’s plan, and pray/unite for the sake of the mission. We would prefer an easy option but being a part of God’s plan positions us to do difficult things. A quote I’ve been enjoying from Taylor Bauman lately is “It’s simple, but it’s not easy.” Living for Christ has this flavor to it.
After the service, someone said it reminded them of the “Handle Hard Better” speech from Kara Lawson:
At any rate, I hope all of this encourages you to step into God’s plan. It’s totally worth it.
