Roman 12:1-2

"Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:1-2

Again

Once again I have allowed complacency to rule my life. I never thought of myself as someone who takes the easy way, but my actions regarding sin prove time and again that I absolutely do.

I was reminded last night, the gentle prodding of the Spirit, that walking with God is not a passive activity but an active one.

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

He has shown you, O Man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

God wants me to actively pursue him.

And isn't that what He did when He sent Jesus to die for my sin? He crossed the chasm and ran after me.

And He is still running.
