Spiritual Shift 14: From Complacency to a Passionate Pursuit of the Deeper Life and Mission

Description: We refuse to be content with what we have already achieved; instead, we press on in pursuit of the fullness of life in Christ. His love burns in our hearts and compels us to be ambassadors who proclaim his gospel of reconciliation. It lights a fire in our souls to go to those places where few or none have heard, to fully proclaim the gospel of Christ, and to complete the task he has given us. We desperately cry out with Moses: ‘Show us your glory!’ … and we give ourselves to revealing that glory to the world. Scriptures: Philippians 3:7-14; 2 Corinthians 5:11-21; Romans 15:17-21; Acts 20:22-24 Select one of these scriptures and meditate on it. Prayer Prompts: Take a moment this morning to tend to the fire in your own heart. What is it in need of: do dying embers need stirring? Ashes blown away? New logs put on it? As you read the passage of your choosing, invite God’s Sprit to ignite your heart a fresh. Don’t rush away. Sit with Him around the fire of your heart in silence.
