21 Apr Start Rowing!
Never stop growing! When we stop growing spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally we begin dying. If we get into a boat and just sit there in that stream or river, what is going to happen? We might want to go upstream, but if we sit there with our oars inside the boat, we’re simply going to flow with wherever the current takes us. If we really want to go somewhere new or different, we have to put the oars in the water and start rowing against the current!
Many times it is tempting to rely only on the spiritual. “Wherever the spirit takes me…it’s so wonderful…” But then we have no idea where we might end up, and 20 years later realize that we’re still just floating around!
To accomplish something we have to set some goals…when we start rowing, we start growing!
