“His momentum was up now and he plowed straight into the opposition...” (Acts 9:22 MSG)
What is the difference between being stuck in a rut vs. getting into the groove? Both idioms imply that you are following a predetermined plan. However, when you are stuck in a rut, you are stagnant. Your routine is unproductive. Whereas being in the groove implies that you are in the zone and functioning properly--like a record player needle that is on track.
In chapter 9 of the Book of Acts, Saul was finally in the groove. Before his conversion, Saul was known for wreaking havoc among the Christians in Jerusalem. Thus, his professions of faith were met with suspicion. However, Saul did not allow any of this to slow down his momentum. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, he plowed straight into the opposition.
How can we move forward, with momentum, along preordained pathways?
Lock in to Christ.
Commit fully.
Move forward in faith.
