Have you ever tried to mix corn starch with water? I hope that y'all have at least seen it before because it is actually really cool. Here is a short video from Mythbusters for those of y'all who have no idea what I'm talking about.
Long story short, when you mix corn starch with water in the right proportions, the product behaves as both a solid and a liquid. When it is struck, it behaves as a solid, otherwise it will run like a liquid. This is seen beautifully in the Mythbusters video where Adam can run across the solution with no problem. He can even stand on it as long as he keeps his feet moving. You can see where at certain points, he doesn't move quick enough and sinks a bit, and later when he stops moving altogether, he is engulfed by the solution.
My point is this. This simple solution accurately resembles our lives and our walk with God in such a profound way. We must be continually pursuing and moving toward God because as soon as we begin to slow down, we will sink with the best of them. If we stop pursuing Him altogether, we will be engulfed by the world. It reminds me of when Jesus called Peter out onto the water and for a moment, Peter actually walked on the water, but even he soon began to focus on the chaos of the sea and the world around him rather than the almighty savior before him.
Let us continually focus on and run toward our Almighty Savior, JESUS!
"I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding." ~Psalm 119:32
