We are nearing the end of our Steps Series. Step 11 marks a significant change in our journey. Up to this point, we have been playing defense, responding to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our own lives and surrendering the desires of the flesh for the joy of our salvation! Step 11 moves us into embracing a proactive life with God. We are now on the offense. God is empowering us to take new territory. We discover that a life with God impacts every aspect of our lives, and we, in fact, become increasingly alive! The Triune God invites us to improve our conscious contact with God through prayer and meditation, desiring to know God’s will and act in obedience to that will. We will become increasingly aware of the fact that we have been rescued for a reason and saved for a purpose. And this, all to God’s glory! By God’s grace, our defense has prevailed, our lives have been turned over, and now it’s time for the offense to take the field. It’s time to play ball!
