Standing Still
There’s a quiet danger most men never notice:
staying the same.
We tell ourselves we’re “waiting on clarity,”
or “thinking things through,”
but deep down we know the truth
standing still is just a safer version of going backward.
Life doesn’t pause for us.
If I’m not growing, sharpening, or building…
I’m slowly drifting into a weaker version of myself.
Movement doesn’t need to be dramatic.
It just needs to be forward.
A single step.
A single prayer.
A single act of discipline.
That’s how a man keeps his edge.
That’s how he keeps his purpose alive.
And the Word reminds me:
“A man’s steps are established by the Lord when he delights in His way.” — Psalm 37:23
But the Lord can’t guide steps I refuse to take.
So today, I move... even if it’s small.
Because progress is never accidental.
Reflection:
Where have you been standing still?
And what’s one small step that would break the stall today?
Field Exercise:
Write down the one area of your life you’ve been avoiding movement in.
Set a single action you can complete in under 10 minutes.
Do it before the day ends.
When you finish, say quietly:
“I moved forward today.”
