One of the most common concerns people have, when wanting to make a life change is where to start. As a normal human being, it is natural to want “to do something”. The something is what can be so important. When it comes to life change ... just trying harder is unlikely to produce much significant or lasting change. The reality is that we have been formed very deeply, over many years, into the patterns with which we struggle. Divine intervention is needed, but do we sit around and wait for something to happen?

At times we lose the Big Picture because we become so focused on the details that are unfolding in front of us. Those details are important, and a certain godly mindfulness can help tune us into what God is doing in our lives in the moment. It is quite possible that He is at work to free us, or grow us, into much needed personal transformation. None of us would want to miss those moments.
