James 5:8
“You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”
Sir Isaac Newton, a very brilliant man, published his revolutionary “Laws of Motion” principles in 1687:
- A body in motion tends to remain in motion until acted upon by some outside force;
- A body at rest tends to remain at rest unless impelled by some external force;
- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
To leave such principles of the universe without spiritual comment, however, would be tragic. The God of the universe who created and designed these forces is that same God who desires a personal relationship with each of us.
Just as there are physical laws of motion in control of the universe, there are “Spiritual Laws of Motion” designed to draw us close to the Lord.
- A soul that moves toward the Lord will tend to continue moving toward Him.
- A soul that is at rest concerning God will fail to move toward Him.
- For every spiritual action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The enemy of our souls is always trying to draw our attention away from the Lord and, if we are not careful, our momentum will be stopped.Where do you find yourself in relation to the spiritual laws of motion? Have you made promises to make the Lord a priority in your life but then failed to act upon it? Time to get in motion!
Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
