Holy Discontent
Holy Discontent by Bill Hybels
1. God says to Moses and to you, “I’ve been looking high and low for someone exactly like you. If you will participate in my plan, then I will harness the internal firestorm that rages inside you and channel it into positive action.
2. I’m going to assign you to a specific role because I see that you are as stirred up on earth as I am in heaven about the issue. I can see what this is doing to you on the inside. I see in you a passion for your people. In your raw emotion, I see a man with a tremendous capacity for activism.—a man who refuses to idly sit by while his people are being mistreated. Your frustration can forge leadership mettle and fortitude in you, if you will let it.
3. What happens when we reach the point where we can’t stand any more?
4. God used the firestorm of frustration that he was brewing in Moses’ soul to launch this unlikely leader into a prominent role that resulted in the nation of Israel eventually inhabiting the promised land.
5. The motivating reason people choose to do good in the world is because there is something wrong in that world. In fact there is something so wrong they just can’t stand it. As a result they devote their lives, energies and money to making sure it gets fixed.
6. If it's broken, it needs fixing.
7. What wrecks the heart of someone who loves God is often the very thing God wants to use to fire them up to do something!
8. The most inspired, motivated, and driven people I know are the ones who live their lives from the energy of their holy discontent.
9. They refuse to stay fed up and instead get fueled up by their restless longing for the better day realities God says are coming soon. They listen to the soulish instinct inside them that says life doesn’t have to be the way that most people experience it.
