English Standard Version
Ever feel like you're just trying to get by? Sometimes life can be overwhelming, and we get into a mode where we're simply surviving.
What happens next is that we get stuck there -- we forget to turn that off, and the part of our brain that focuses on long-term growth begins to atrophy. We forget to think about what we want to grow into, and we just keep on keeping on.
Scripture pushes us to grow, because it focuses our minds on the eternal -- God has a long-term plan for us to grow into the people we were created to be. We aren't called to simply survive, or to sit and wait comfortably. We're to grow and seek knowledge, to pursue God with all of our hearts, investing our lives in preparing for the eternal kingdom of God.
