Movement

There is always a reason to shout and give God praise, no matter what we’re facing. Even when life feels stagnant or we’re weighed down by burdens, God calls us to movement—forward motion in faith. The story from Luke 5 of the paralyzed man and his friends shows us the power of community and determination. The enemy loves stagnation, but God honors those who refuse to let obstacles or the indifference of others keep them from pressing into His presence. Sometimes, it’s not about having the perfect plan, but about having the right people around you—people who will carry you when you can’t move yourself, and who will push through the crowd to get you to Jesus.
