If you've been inspired by these "Chasing Lions" posts, read the book, In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson.

Do you feel you're in a rut? Talk to God about it. Ask Him to reveal His will for you and what He wants you to do about it. Read His Word, seek His Spirit to guide and direct you.

"Pride comes before the fall." (Proverbs 16:8)

" Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up." (James 4:10)

Pride is a product of our human nature. As Christians, we need to constantly humble ourselves. This keeps us grounded in God's Spirit and ready to learn, serve, grow, and do far great than we can think or imagine.

How much faith do you have? I know I have a lot more faith than I did each decade prior to this one. You see each time God proves His faithfulness to me and sees me through difficult circumstances, my faith muscles grow bigger and stronger. This extra strength prepares me for the next season of difficulty.

We each have a choice when the tides of trials sweep over us, and we need to determine our choice in advance: 1. be like Job's wife and "curse God and die," (Job 2:9) or 2. be like Job and say, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." (Job 13:15)

Choose faith. Choose to trust the faithful God who created you, knows you best, loves you most. and promises to never leave you or forsake you.

Are you experiencing the mind-blowing, contagious adventure on one walking in step with the Spirit? If so, share with us about it. If not, repent, refocus, and let the Holy Spirit redirect your steps. Then be prepared for Him to do "far greater than you can think or imagine!" Finally, remember Herod in Acts 12:23 and always, always give Him the glory!

Christianity is anything but boring when you're walking in step with the Spirit of God and chasing your "God-sized dream!"

Many people leave or stay away from Jesus because He has been painted as boring or someone who judges you by a list of "thou shalt nots." Let's agree to live the life of a lion chaser, like the early apostles, that constantly reflects the mind-blowing power of God! That's a relationship that others want to know about.

Do you believe your dreams can impact generations long after you are gone? Psalm 71:17-18 is Ron's life verse, "Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come."

I know the dreams and prayers of my mother live on in me, and I like to think they continue on as I share her life with younger generations. Dream, chase, live, and share your "God dreams," and may future generations be blessed and empowered because you dared to "chase lions" like Benaiah in 2 Samuel 23.

What have you been chasing lately, or have you lost or outgrown the desire to chase? Is your chase God-initiated and blessed or self/worldly focused, or have you allowed fear to steal your chase? Take some time to contemplate and pray about these questions. Do you need to rekindle your chase, refocus your chase, or continue your chase?
