The Ball is in your court. Make a Move.
Can I be real with you for a second? I donāt think youāre stuck because you donāt know what to do. I think youāre stuck because youāre waiting to feel ready. Waiting for confidence. Waiting for some kind of sign that makes the decision obvious. Iāve been there. Still am sometimes. But hereās what Iāve learned the hard way. Clarity almost never shows up first. It usually shows up after you start moving. We all want the full plan. The clear picture. The reassurance that we wonāt mess it up. But God doesnāt really work that way. He gives just enough light for the next step, not the whole road. Thereās a verse that always grounds me. āYour word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.ā Psalm 119:105 NIV A lamp doesnāt light everything. It just shows you where to step next. And honestly, thatās usually enough. I think sometimes we call it patience, but itās really just fear in a nicer outfit. Fear of choosing wrong. Fear of wasting time. Fear of failing in public. So we wait. And waiting feels safe. But staying still for too long starts to cost more than moving ever would. I see this all the time. Research instead of action. Planning instead of building. Praying for direction while ignoring the thing we already feel nudged to do. Hereās the shift that helped me. You donāt get clarity and then move. You move, and clarity follows. You donāt need the five year plan. You donāt need everything figured out. You just need to take the next honest step. So let me ask you this, and I mean it in the best way. Whatās the thing you already know you should do, but keep putting off? Take a few quiet minutes today. No phone. No noise. Ask God straight up what that step is. Youāll probably know the answer faster than you expect. Then do something physical. Go for a walk. Lift something heavy. Move your body so the decision doesnāt stay trapped in your head. And if you need words to pray, hereās what Iāve been praying lately. God, bless me indeed with courage. Enlarge my territory as I take steps forward, even when I canāt see the whole path. Let Your hand be with me as I move in obedience, not fear. Keep me from comfort that keeps me stuck and hesitation that slows me down. Amen.
