The most uncomfortable place for a Christian is a comfortable place The minute you come to the conclusion that you have gone as far as you want to go and are satisfied with yourself and what you’ve accomplished, watch out! The minute you think you’ve arrived, that’s as far as you’ll get. God’s law of progress is: If you don’t keep on getting more, you’ll lose what you’ve got. The minute you think you’ve attained and you sit down to enjoy it, that’s when you lose it. “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12). When you come to the point that you just want to stand still, you’re finished. It is impossible to stand still in the Christian life. You are either making progress, going ahead, climbing a little further upward every day, giving more of yourself and accomplishing more, or you are slipping backward and on your way down. Are you alive and going, or dead and settling? Don’t settle down and vegetate and become like the rest of the bumps on the logs. Rise up and live! Move now with the life of God, or you’ll be left behind in the death of this world. — 1 Peter 5:7 ESV - Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Philippians 4:6-7 ESV - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. James 1:3-4 ESV - For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
