Movement

In order to get anywhere in life, it requires some type of movement. Whether going to work, or the grocery store, or to church, it takes having to get up and move. If I want to exercise and get healthy, it takes movement. If I get promoted at work it's a promotion (pro-motion). I am moving up in my career. The Lord designed us for movement. His Kingdom is all about forward movement. Matthew 11:12 says His Kingdom is forcefully advancing. It is always moving forward. The other day, I was dwelling on Isaiah 40:31. It says we will soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary and walk and not faint. I realized the only way to test the soaring is to jump and try to fly, the only way to test not growing weary is to be running and the only way to test not fainting is to be walking. The point is forward movement. He has amazing promises for those who are moving forward. Why? Because we were not designed to be stagnant. Stagnant by definition is: showing no activity; dull and sluggish or having no current or flow and often having an unpleasant smell as a consequence. Just like stagnant water is not healthy and attracts bad things, being stagnant in our lives will literally attract disease or dis-ease in our lives, whether physically, emotionally or spiritually. We were created and designed for forward movement and His promises are unending for those who are. So no matter how hard life gets or how difficult things are we must move forward. We must run so we can not grow weary, we must walk so we don't faint and we must fly so we can soar.
