Take a walk. Right now. If it’s too late then read your Bible for a while and connect with God, get up early tomorrow, and take a walk just to be with Him. Then come back and keep reading.
Don’t cheat! Go! If it’s raining, grab an umbrella!
There is no success or failure in God’s eyes when it comes to discovering your identity. As we’ve said already, the process is God’s goal. But beware of the trip wires along the way. Your pride will creep in and grab for others attention over His. Your anger will flare up at crappy food and bad drivers. People you thought loved you will hurt you.
This is a battlefield and sometimes the strategy must change to keep you fresh and alert. Your daily connection time with God doesn't always have to look the same. In fact it should change from time to time so you can see new things through new strategies.
Read Mark 8:22-26 and then Mark 10:46-52
Why did Jesus do it the same both times?
God does not change, but the world that he made does. While it’s foundations remain the same, to rescue an infinite number of different people, God, over time, has changed his strategies and tactics. So then should we. God does not set things in stone for us to follow from here until our death. In fact, we will often come to the same situation twice and the wise thing to do may be different each time.
So as the journey wears on you, feel free to change things up. Don’t use this as a license to become lazy, complacent, or stop growing. God doesn’t change, but he does move. As we follow him, we must move too.
