RAISING THE BAR

A good Sunday afternoon nap is good for the soul. I woke up with a smile and also a truth that the Lord showed me in a dream, a truth about myself that convicted me, but one that I can change and be aware of. God is always working on me. Seems that bar keeps getting raised higher and higher. As I think of our christian life and Jesus raising the bar higher and higher I think of the game that is played at parties and such. Limbo - played to music someone holds a pole and a line of people have to go under it but each time the pole is lowered closer to the ground, obviously making it harder and harder each time.

Interesting how as we continue to grow in our christian walk Jesus raises the bar higher and higher. I was thinking about this. If the bar is getting higher it seems that it would be easier and easier to get under it, right? I do think that God does that as he shapes us. I know for me as I continue to grow in my walk with Jesus, when he shows me something new that he wants me to step into it becomes easier to do. Each raise of the bar strengthens me more. He challenges me to go higher, often stepping out of my comfort zone, but each time I do I become stronger, making that next raise of the bar easier.

Pretty cool isn't it?!!!!! Don't ever stop asking God to show you areas in your life that need to change. Just get ready for him to reveal them and then be ready for something awesome in your life.

Continue to keep us in your prayers as we await the next steps. The following scripture gives validity to the prayers of many.

2 Corinthians 2:10-11 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
