Inaction: What is it?
Inaction is not moving. It's being still. It's complacency.
Stillness for God:
We are to be still for God. We need to keep our sabbath and quiet our minds and hearts. But, nowhere in the Bible are we told to stop progress in faith or in our relationship with Him. Yes, we are to be still for Him--when we've been too busy (in heart, mind, and/or body). We are to listen to Him. This is a must.
What Inaction?
What inaction am I referring to, then? Inaction. Not moving. Not being active in faith. Not keeping mind in Christ. Not running for the faith. Not growing in faith. I'm talking about being stagnate in faith. Lukewarm or cold.
If we are inactive in our faith, our faith is dead.
We are to actively try to follow Him.
We are to keep our minds and hearts focused on Him--even in the midst of doing other things. We must forever remain alert to Him and His call.
We need to be aware of where we are, how we are, and aware of Him and His instruction.
Our lives in Him are at stake.
We can live a warm, rich, nourishing life with Him or we can be inactive, dead in faith, and not live for Him. When we don't live for Him, our lives take on a downward turn. I don't know about you, but life is tough enough without relying on Him and being active in Him. I don't know how I could get by without Him.
How are you in your faith? Are you moving too fast or too slow? Find balance in Him--and listen. He'll tell you what's up.
News:
I'm working on writing a study on 1 Corinthians. Stay tuned.
I'm also debating on doing a couple of Christian living books.
Vacation:
My Dad is coming to town tonight. I'll be back next Monday.
God bless.

Excellent point - one that I don't that I've heard anywhere else before. Being still and standing still are two entirely different things.
