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?’
