Does anyone know what I am talking about? It is when there is this “light straw” which is the last straw of a million that gets put on your back and cracks the “vertebrae” causing enough PAIN FOR CHANGE. What I have personally experienced is being sick and tired of being sick and tired! Knowing, as a Christian, God has allowed this sick and tired feeling to promote the pain that drives the change. I know of a person who had two DUI’s and jail time only to get out and kill someone while driving drunk.
Unfortunately, some people have a “high pain tolerance” and so it takes a lot of pain to force change.
Most humans love comfort and what is familiar, even if familiar is hard or difficult! On the “Back 9,” I have learned through my own personal experience what promotes REAL CHANGE! It is when “The pain of staying the same is GREATER than the pain of change.” Some would call it a wake up call. God desires for continual change and growth in our life, to ultimately look more like HIM. Many times change should happen and the apple cart should be upset but we are resistant. Change is usually difficult for most people. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” I love this quote and I agree that, if things are working smoothly, why upset the apple cart? Sometimes we can jump from place to place looking for satisfaction instead of resting and being content.Contentment is something God wants us to learn.
