Mediocrity

Mediocrity (def) - is a noun that means the quality or state of being average, ordinary, or not very good—often carrying a sense of disappointment or a lack of distinction. We are not called to be apathetic, neutral, or moving backward. We are called to advance!!

Today I woke up to God stirring my heart and my faith walk; this is where God is taking me. Forward!!! Forward in faith. I wrote a song called Forward in Faith many years ago, and God has brought that song and that attitude to mind today. The chorus goes like this: As we walk forward in faith, following His call, surrendering our all, beyond what we can see, just trust and believe, and walk forward in faith. No Christian should ever fall into the sin of mediocrity, but be stirred to the point of doing something. A faith with no works is a dead faith, and like a good soup with great ingredients, God stirs us to what’s really at the heart of the soup. Not just the broth on the top, but the good stuff that has settled in the bottom, where the meat lies dormant.

If not appreciated and stirred, the person eating will never taste the best of the soup. We are not broth. We are the meat at the bottom, and God is stirring us up to give the world a taste of His creation. Ephesians 2:⁸ God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. ⁹ Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. ¹⁰ For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

SO SHINE AND SHINE BRIGHTLY WITH THE TALENTS AND GIFTS GOD HAS GIVEN EACH OF US. THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GUIDE YOU INTO A NEW WAY OF THINKING AND LIVING. ONE FILLED WITH ADVENTURE AND TRUE MEANING. You are a born-again believer and WAY more than ordinary and average.

The Pilgrimage Continues,
