Working Hard for God
What happens when you work hard for God and lose your passion? Steven Furtick has a few thoughts in his book, Greater:
"Greater isn't an automatic, permanent position; it's an intentional daily decision."
"But I find encouragement here. God isn't present only for my epic showdowns and life-altering crises. He's also superintending my everyday struggles. No detail or circumstance in my life falls outside His concern. He cares about little frustrations that can cause me to come unhinged. And since most of our spiritual momentum is gained or lost in the everyday affairs of life, it's good to know that God is actively involved in them."
"The next time you sense yourself getting spiritually dull, don't try to regain your momentum by doubling down on your self-effort. Instead, go to God."
"But I've learned that the greater life isn't about living the perfect life. It's about keeping your passion intact, no matter what."
"The next time you lose your momentum in daily life as you're chasing after God's best for you, don't give up and conclude that it's over. The greater life hasn't ended for you. It's only out of sight under the waters of the ordinary. And God can resurface it, supernaturally, as many times as it takes. As many times as you're willing."
