The Wall: The Way Forward Is to Stop

We hate stopping. It feels unproductive and wasteful. The story of one man shows us that sometimes it's only by stopping that God can begin to show us what carried us to the wall in the first place. (It's almost never something that he asked us to carry.) Discussion questions: How slow do you go? Do you think you move at a pace that is too fast to often notice what might be happening under the surface? Describe a time when you found yourself taking responsibility for the output, when all you could actually control was the input. How did you learn to eventually release control for the outcome? Where do you think you might be owning or doing something that God never asked you to own or to do in the first place?
