More on the issue of stretching raised yesterday. The walk of faith is more than just strolling through a forest, looking for the Lord's back. It is, rather, a winding climb up an ever-scaling mount. If you are not struggling for breath at the tree line, it is because you are resting on some stump yards below.
Lord wants to stretch you not only so He can carry you; Lord stretches you because it is the only way you will grow. Those new to the faith are no different from those who have aged in the faith. Old ones should be asking themselves the same question as the new ones: what now, Lord? Churches fail when their flocks aren't continually seeking the growth, the stretching. Faiths fail when we believe that being able to catch our breath is somehow a good thing.
