Breaking The Cycle

Deuteronomy 10-12This is a reminder that God rehearses history in the old testament so the people of God could ultimately see that they are repeating the same cycle in their relationship with him. Today the church leaders, like Moses, have fallen prey to a cycle where they are more worried about people obeying God than they are about being obedient to God. The church and those on the christian journey are more worried about saving people than sharing the gospel. In these cases, we are to do things God's way. Obey God. That is the sum of our calling. We cannot make others do anything. That has never been our calling. We must stay out of God's business. We must break the cycles of thinking that we are not successful because people don't live saved or we can't save them. Both of these are God's job, not our job. We can stop this by looking at our personal history with God and asking God to reveal the spiritual cycles in our lives that we need to break. Then we need to ask him to help us break the cycle.
