A lot of people get in the action, but when the going gets a little rough, they back up or quit. Anything you take on that is a sizable project will bring somebody to take pot shots at you.
A lot of people never bother to get in the action.

The quarterback can call the signals, and you can stand there at the line and never move.

As a Christian, you can do the same thing and never be in a position to receive certain rewards because you don't go.

A lot of people are still at the starting line. They have never moved out, never moved one peg, never made any effort whatsoever. They have developed the maturity and the skills, but they are still sitting there.

You Need To Be Moving
That inactivity will stop them from getting in position to where they can receive God fullest for their lives. It is vital to have action, to be moving.

A lot of people get in the action, but when the going gets a little rough, they back up or quit. Anything you take on that is a sizable project will bring somebody to take pot shots at you.

Many times it will be Christians who do not have sense enough to know they are being used of the devil.

They may be coming at you from every direction. But it will not stop you or alter your direction, if you have determined to accomplish the goal God has set before you.

So get into God's game and start making a difference!
