Fantastic Friday #266- Shift

Shift

15 Laziness brings on deep sleep,
and the shiftless go hungry.

16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,
but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die. Proverbs 19:15-16

For those of you familiar with baseball, you know what a defensive shift is, and what kind of movement takes place. If you drive a car, you know that gears shift to get a car moving. When you are uncomfortable in your seat, you shift your body around to make yourself more comfortable. In your Christian walk, how much do you shift, or do you stand still and don't do anything to grow. There are times in my life that I don't feel the shift, but quickly the Holy Spirit reminds me that if I don't shift to following God's path for my life, I tend to grow hungry to better myself. It is important to shift towards a life God means for us to fulfill and not be a stagnant reed that only moves when the wind blows us to and fro.

Have a great weekend.
