Are You Moving Forward Or Just Spinning Your Wheels?
At church yesterday, during my Pastor’s sermon, he mentioned spinning your wheels. He told the story about how his wife’s jeep had gotten stuck in the mud and he tried everything he could to get her jeep out the mud, until finally he had to just let the mud dry. He talked about how the jeep was just spinning its wheels but not going anywhere. I’m truly thankful for the insight that God has blessed me with. I’m thankful that I can hear a small passage, word or phrase and He gives me a whole message.
I began to really think about ‘spinning your wheels.’ You know there have been times in our life and maybe even now where we are just spinning our wheels. Time is moving forward, but we’re not. Going through the motions of a daily routine but not progressing. Just like the wheels on that jeep was going in a forward motion it wasn’t moving. I began to think even harder and apply this to my own personal life. Although I was truly grateful and thankful to be blessed with a job, I was only spinning my wheels. I went to work religiously, on time every day, did the same routine, but I wasn’t making progress. I knew there was something bigger and greater for me to do. Although I had a positive impact on a lot of my coworkers, I knew that couldn’t be my final destination. I knew I had the capability to learn and do so much more. I knew there was more to life than just going through the motions. I don’t want to live a life of doing enough just to get by, because just enough isn’t enough.
Ask yourself, is there something more I can be doing in life? Am I really making progress? Am I putting myself in a position to physically, mentally and spiritually move forward? Or am I just ‘spinning my wheels?’
