e all have to pivot sometimes. Life is full of change and transition. We have to navigate the unexpected, choose a trajectory, and then move forward into the unknown. For Christians, ideally, this is going to be something that we seek out. We look toward growth and transformation. So, what does this look like in your spiritual walk? Like the rich young ruler, we like things to be straightforward and clear: Keep the commandments. But simple formulas don't really cover it. They're too confined, too narrow. If we don't do the work of spiritual growth and development, when we come into situations where things are not what we expect, our formula doesn’t fit. We're left at loose ends and life slaps us down. When it comes to living, you can't have faith in a system. You can have faith in God, but not in a system. If our idea of God is a confined and narrow formula, it’s going to be too small. God is bigger than that.
