It’s usually because we are content with the way things are now. We’re comfortable – so why change? When things turn ugly we tend to make decisions more quickly. The first step toward changing is to change what we think about. The thoughts that enter our mind need to be reconciled with what we know is good and wholesome vs. our tendency toward selfishness. Once we focus on the circumstances God has placed us in and understand the purpose we can begin to have a vision of a change God wants in me. Then, and only then, can we begin to form the intent to act on that vision.
