Paul did not accomplish great things for God because he never sinned or never experienced hardship. Paul accomplished great things for God because he walked in humility, kept on getting back up, sharpened his focus on the prize (Phil. 3:14), and persevered to the end. Take time to sharpen your focus on the target!
We cannot hold on to unjust behaviors against us, hurtful words or actions befallen us, or betrayals that have cut us deeply – and then wonder why we do not want to continue coming to church, why our marriage is struggling, or why we do not find reading the Bible helpful anymore! Active waiting on God chooses to leave nothing on the table in a detailed surrender to God’s perfect way.
