Stagnation

The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough. …

I will repay you for the years eaten by locusts—the swarming locust, the young locust, the destroying locust, and the devouring locust—My great army that I sent against you. …

Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
