Needed Change that Seems Impossible

"He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." Psalm 40:2

Is there change being made? Change in me, change in others because of Him in me? Is there change for His glory and His good?

OR

Is there no change, or change that is against Him?

What do you do when you feel like change has become stagnant?

I want Him and His Word to constantly be changing me, clear up to the day I reach Glory.

Is my heart indeed changing? So often I feel as though it has changed in the opposite direction.

It becomes a rut, an overwhelmingly thick muddy rut.

In that rut I see the things He desires me to change, yet it seems impossible to do so. It seems as though all I am able to do is see the needed changes, yet when I try nothing happens, because I look down and realize how stuck I am.

I could share some of these needed changes, but I am not there yet.

Lately is seems as though I have come to live with the fact that I will just be in a rut. But I know God speaks to me differently. Freedom is mine through Him. It's just the accepting and living in that freedom that I somehow can't get to.

Jesus lift me out of this rut and set my feet high upon the Rock. Amen
