Following God isn’t about performing or trying to hype things up. It’s not about forcing an emotional moment or just stirring things for the sake of it.
What it is about… is partnering with Him.
It’s about learning how to walk with Him, to exercise that spiritual muscle. Just like in the natural, my body won’t get stronger unless I actually work out. And if I want to build real strength, I can’t just stick to soup cans forever.
Sure, lifting anything is better than nothing, that’s still movement. But there’s a difference between that and lifting 10 or 20-pound dumbbells. Real strength comes when you’re willing to carry a little more weight.
In the same way, sometimes God allows us to experience the weightiness of His glory, not to crush us, but to strengthen us. To help us lift things we couldn’t carry on our own.
But there are also times when the invitation is to simply receive.
To rest.
To be refreshed.
To let Him pour into you.
And that’s not weakness - that’s wisdom. Sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
Because He’s such a good Giver.
And He wants to do exceedingly, abundantly more than all you could ask, think, or even imagine, right in the deepest places of your heart.
