616 Object In Motion

What if all this time you’ve been waiting on God, God has been waiting on you. He’s been waiting on you to take the next step in faith. He’s been waiting on you to DO SOMETHING. Two planted feet are hard to direct. We pray, “Lord, please direct me in the way I should go”, but the truth is we have our heels dug in, fearful of change, waiting for the 5 year plan to be revealed before we’re willing to move those feet. God’s not into pushing. Maybe that’s what you’ve been expecting him to do. You’ve been waiting for a hard push to get you going. You know it’s funny, I’ve never read a single story in the Bible about God pushing someone to direct them. I’ve never seen evidence of God providing the big picture plan with the clear path to get there. So, why would we expect it? Why are you sitting here waiting on it? Here’s what God does, he GUIDES. Isaiah 58:11 says “The Lord will guide you always.” There’s a big difference between guiding and pushing. Guiding is that gettle nudge that turns you while you’re on your way. Guiding is an act of alignment of something that is already in motion. God is waiting for you to GET IN MOTION here sister. If you’re not hearing from God, if you’re not feeling his direction, could it because because you’re standing still, doing nothing, waiting for a PUSH? Well, you may be standing there stuck for a long time. Get yourself in motion and just watch what God can do. Seek him as you show up and do the best you can where you are with what you have, and you will feel the guidance you’ve been seeking. Not a crystal clear plan, not a guaranteed easy path or promised success … no, just a guiding hand that nudges you ever so slightly towards what is right. Psalm 1:3 says “whatever they DO prospers.” The key word here is DO. God can not prosper what you will not do. He cannot bless what you will not build. He cannot guide when you’re not going. God simply will not prosper work you will not do. He doesn’t work that way. Newton’s first law of motion teaches us an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion. Are you “at rest”? Sitting? Waiting? Wondering? Questioning? Complaining? Worrying? STUCK? Well, you will likely keep sitting there. Waiting here. Wondering how. Questioning when. Complaining about it all. Worrying yourself sick. And stay stuck. It’s the law of motion. Understand there’s a difference between a Holy Pause and just sitting there. A holy pause is a slow in your roll to check yourself. It’s looking up to ensure you’re going in the right direction. It’s a genuine seeking of God’s direction. But don’t fool yourself into believing that’s the same as sitting there in your mess waiting for God to come in and just fix it. He’s not going to fix this honey, he’s going to give you exactly what you need to fix it, but provision is received as you get up and get going. Houses don’t clean themselves. Debt doesn’t magically disappear. Health isn’t restored on your couch. Jobs don’t come knocking on your front door. Soul mates don’t come with a flashing sign saying “I’m the one!” Let me tell you something, marriages naturally fall apart without any effort. Kids naturally go astray. Messes build without you lifting a finger. You don’t have to plant weeds for them to grow. You don’t have to work for metal to rust. If anything is going to change, YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE IT. You, yes you. It’s time to be the object in motion! Get going somewhere before you know for sure where you’re going. Start doing something even when you’re unsure how exactly to do it.
