According to the Dictionary one definition describes a thorn as “a source of continual annoyance or trouble”. A thorn can cause an immediate pain from its puncture or it can cause constant irritation and distress. Thorns that appear as a source of trouble are usually not welcomed companions on our daily quest. But the thorns we encounter are useful despite their irritations and disruptions.

Be Still But Still On Purpose




What is it like for you in this season of unprecedented change and heightened emotions? How are you handling the abrupt season of stillness and the prolonged state of being stationary?  How has your daily routines changed for the positive and for the negative?  What questions are you asking God during this season?

As each day emerges by the grace of God we must all strive to use this time of stillness to be purposeful in our thoughts, actions, and behaviors. The world undoubtedly is going through a shift and we as Believers should also be  shifting to increase our relationships, our passion for God and godly things, to increase our capacity to ingest more of God's word and Gods voice and influence in our lives.  Being in a place of reduced activity is an invitation to increase our understanding and our connection with the creator and a call to use this time to be fruitful.  What are your areas of increase that needs attention? Take this time to deeply reflect on the spiritual and emotional things that need attention in your life and seek God to assist you in this endeavor.  Challenge yourself and fight the challenge of this season and the things that threaten to leave you stagnated and not improved.  Remember we are not a weak people. We are a tribe of diligent warriors.  

So what is God placing on your heart to do and to transform while in this season of stillness and change? What are some goals and desires of your heart that you want to purposely pursue with all of your heart and strength?  How do you want to be different when this trial ends?  What will be your signs of success?

Journal Entry:

Lord how do I increase in this season? Show me how to grow and to fulfill your desires in me even in this season of change. Lord how do I not miss my opportunity to transform my heart, my spirit, my walk with you during this time? I want so desperately to emerge out of this with your praise that I remained on purpose and fulfilled greatness during this season of stillness and change.
