Stop going through the motions

It is way to easy to live our lives with no passion.

It is way to easy to live our lives not giving everything we’ve got.

It is way to easy to live our lives unhappy and dissatisfied.

We need to choose to stop going through the motions

We need to choose to make the most of our lives!

We need to choose to make each moment count!

We need to choose to step out in faith with God and trust Him with the results!

Do you struggle with just going through the motions?

***** This post was inspired by Matthew West’s song “The Motions.”  Check it out:

  1. so tempting to go through the motions of living instead of actually engaging. It somehow makes us feel less accountable but it’s not really living.
    I know I want ALL that God has for me, even the growing pains! Though I need extra grace to get through those pains (wink).

  2. Honestly, a few years ago I was so disappointed with people that I decided it wasn’t worth it to keep pushing when it seemed no one else cared about pursuing God. I tried not caring and just getting by as far as God is concerned. It didn’t take me long to become completely miserable! I have experienced something real and pressing through is hard, but living for less is harder. Good message, Kevin.

  3. I actually experienced this kind of feeling just 2 weeks before. I normally try to do everything I can just so I can keep everything under control, but it seems like there was one day that whatever I do, things are happening not the way as I planned it, but when I gave up expecting what has to happen and said that God will help me get through.. I think He heard me and for the first time that “unlucky” day, something turned out okay, which is even better than I had expected. God really works in mysterious ways.

  4. Going through the motions will get us nowhere. If we want to make a positive change in life in general, we have to take a lot of action.

  5. Yes, that true… Going to the motion can lead us to no where… You can appreciate your existence more if you are following a path to a better life. Have plans and be motivated enough to reach your goals.

  6. I love this song. I was just recently thinking about it too! When we don’t examine where we’ve been, and where we’re headed…we end up where we never expected to be…
