If you take a one hundred dollar bill and save it for a year or two, though it is still a one hundred dollar bill, the value will decrease. You can not buy the same amount of stuff with one hundred dollars today, as you could five, ten or even one year ago. The cost of living goes up, and the value of the dollar goes down. 

It’s the same in life. When people say my life is stuck, it is an illusion. Pure illusion. 

If you don’t move forward, you are moving backwards. If you are not increasing, you are decreasing, if you are not going up, for sure you are going down.

This applies to love life, finances, career, etc. You are not stuck in your love life…years are passing by. You are not stuck in your career… you are being left behind. You are not stuck in your life… many others have made progress and you are still just existing. 

Faith is to look forward and move forward. The Word of God says, 

“I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,I press toward the goal for the prize…” Philippians 3:13-14 

And this is what faith is all about. Pressing forward and winning the prize. First of all, our salvation… and secondly, all the blessings that God has for us on this earth. 

May the God of the Bible bless you
