Have you ever been stuck in a rut? What is a Rut?

It is when You feel Trapped. Bored. Wasted. Stuck in a rut - and the only difference between a Rut and a Grave is the rut is open at both ends!

Your energy drops dramatically

You suddenly become undecided, confused as to your next step.

You start to believe playing the game becomes more important than achieving results.

180 SECRET - ALWAYS ON THE MOVE!

Seemingly overnight you are gaining weight, not sleeping and generally in ill health

And the biggy…you stop dreaming about what is possible barely able to make it through what "is!"

How do you get out of a Rut?

Abraham was stuck in a Rut like many of us. Out of all the people in his country God chose Abram to start a new Nation.

Abraham was reluctant. He kept procrastinating and putting off his decision. He was in a Rut.

180 SECRET - ALWAYS ON THE MOVE!

After 25 years Abram finally left with his wife and family.

Why? He saw the corrupt dealings, pagan idolatry, human sacrifice, witchcraft etc..
Abram finally had to make a Choice:

- Am I for God or against Him?

- Abram had the Gift of Desperation!

"The Gift of Desperation brings out the Best in us if we allow God to Perform in our lives."
180 SECRET - ALWAYS ON THE MOVE!

Abraham left not knowing where to go in Hebrews 11 we learn how Abraham got out of his Rut by using the Gift of Desperation:

- Abraham went on a journey looking for a city who's Foundation and Maker is God.

- Abraham determined that he was not going to be stuck in his father's homeland any longer.

- Abraham became a Pilgrim and went from living in one mansion his whole life to living in tents.

- Abraham became Mobile and was Willing to go anywhere God led him.

After 25 years Abraham didn't say,
"I'm going to be happy just as soon as:

- I find someone

- I figure it out

- I sell my house

- My 401K has enough money

180 SECRET - ALWAYS ON THE MOVE!

It took Abraham a lifetime to learn all of the Secrets God had for him and in the end he realized he always had God's Secret in his Life but didn't know it.

God is the Revealer of the Deep Secrets in our lives. God knows what Potential we have and spends each day trying pull it out of us.

180 SECRET - ALWAYS ON THE MOVE!

The next time you feel yourself in a Rut do what Abraham did:

Embrace Change as a Challenge.

Change your Routine.
 
Take One step at a time.
 
Change your Company and the people you associate with.

Change your Huddle.

Take responsibility.

Spend Time in Meditation
