Baby Steps to Getting Out of A Rut

Success in life often depends on how well we make big decisions when the time comes. The choice of a particular a career, finding that perfect job, buying a house, are all big decisions that have a major impact on our finances and our external quality of life. However when it comes to our internal, spiritual well being, I have found that it is the small decisions that matter most. God’s Strategic Plan for is for us at peace with Him and ourselves internally, so that we can truly enjoy what he provides for us externally. We do this by making small decisions every day.

If you are struggling on the inside to live a life of faith and balance all the business, work, family and personal demands placed on your time, take it from me, you’re not alone. Its easy for us to become overwhelmed, tired and stressed when the challenges of life overtake us. This results in our lives becoming unbalanced, as the peace and calm that we need to function effectively is eroded. When we lose our internal peace we also lose our joy and our focus.

The way to get out of your personal rut is to make small decisions to change. Start by deciding to take at least 15 minutes out of your busy day, every day, to find a quiet place to read Scripture and pray. This is your source of personal nourishment and internal strength. Decide today, to be a better example to your children and do something to improve your relationship with your spouse. Ask the Lord to connect to someone today from whom you will either receive encouragement, or to whom you will provide encouragement. Make that decision to avoid hanging out with people who are negative or whose behavior is offensive. Make these small decisions prayerfully and consistently over time and you will see your life begin to change. I know that when I do, I feel a lot closer to the Lord and a lot less at war with myself.
