Perhaps the biggest threat to thriving is apathy. 

 

Have you found this to be true?

Stop reading your Bible and your hunger for it dissipates.

Stop listing gratitude and it’s harder to find gift in the hard.

Stop praising God and fear settles in.

Stop praying and God feels farther away.

Stop investing in your marriage and it begins to fray.

Stop your workout rhythm and it’s difficult to pick it back up.

Stop your healthy eating habits and old cravings come back.

 

The law of inertia comes into play when we pause forward momentum in anything. We either keep learning, growing, becoming–or our gains begin to dissolve. 

 

There is no stand-still.

 

It’s forward or backward.

Growth or regression.

Thriving or declining.
