Get in Gear | Your Faith Requires Motion

Philippians 3:13–14 says, “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark.”

Sitting in neutral makes a lot of noise, but you’re still not moving. A parked car never reaches its destination. Faith is an action word, and Paul didn’t just talk about it—he pressed, he moved.

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were movers. They showed us that obedience meant going even when they didn’t see the full map. If faith has no motion, you’re fooling yourself. Proverbs reminds us, “Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”

Think about it—how foolish would it look to see someone steering a parked car? Or expecting to get a job without filling out an application? God doesn’t shape us while we’re standing still. Delay is disobedience in disguise. What good is a GPS for a car that never leaves the driveway?

Most of us are only a movement away from breakthrough. The devil knows this, so he comforts us in pause mode, whispering, “Stay put. Wait longer.” But excuses are just first cousins to lies.

Faith requires action. Delay gives power to the enemy. Obedience is pushing the gas pedal. God blesses steps, not stalls. Stationary feels safe, but it’s stealing destiny. If you want to see God move, He has to see you move.

So today—identify one place where you’ve been idling. Put it in drive. Declare out loud: “I’m not going to stand still. I’m going to press on.”

Get out of neutral—faith requires forward motion.
