What Might Happen If You Trust God Here?
There comes a moment when encouragement isn’t enough.
You’ve prayed.
You’ve waited.
You’ve asked for clarity.
And yet… the decision keeps coming back.
In this episode of My Question for You, we move beyond reflection and into something braver: obedience.
What if the reason you still feel stuck isn’t because God is silent…
but because He’s already spoken?
What if hesitation has been wearing the mask of wisdom?
What if trust isn’t about having the full picture…
but about taking the next step anyway?
Episode 9 is the turning point in the UNSTUCK series — where faith stops being a thought and becomes movement.
If you’ve been circling the same question, waiting to feel ready, waiting to feel certain, waiting to feel safe…
This one is for you.
🎧 Press play — and ask yourself:
What might happen if I trusted God here?
If you’re new here, start at Episode 5 of UNSTUCK and walk the journey with us from the beginning.
✨ Encouragement for your spirit. Wisdom for your walk.

00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:25.280
Before we go any further, I want you to take a deep, steady breath.
00:00:26.949 --> 00:00:29.750
We've been walking together for five weeks now.
00:00:30.309 --> 00:00:38.310
And if you've been with me since the beginning of this unstuck series, you know this wasn't just a series about feeling better.
00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:41.109
It was a rescue mission for your life.
00:00:42.310 --> 00:00:47.270
So if you've been here since episode five, you have done more than just listen.
00:00:47.909 --> 00:00:50.710
You have examined your own patterns.
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.880
You've wrestled with your thoughts.
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.640
Maybe you've even confronted places where you've been stuck longer than you wanted to admit.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.359
This series was never about hype or temporary motivation.
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:05.840
It has been about honesty.
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.280
And honesty often feels uncomfortable before it feels freeing.
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.480
We started by asking the diagnostic question.
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.969
We asked, are you living in your head or in your life?
00:01:21.010 --> 00:01:26.049
We looked at the roots of what might be keeping you there and sat with that strange.
00:01:26.769 --> 00:01:29.250
We called it the Tuesday morning after the leap.
00:01:29.489 --> 00:01:30.450
We sat with that.
00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:35.569
That strange place where the adrenaline fades and real obedience begins.
00:01:35.969 --> 00:01:45.609
And last week, we talked about not needing the whole map, just the lamp to help illuminate and guide your next step.
00:01:46.489 --> 00:01:52.090
But today is the so what?
00:01:46.489 --> 00:01:52.090
Today is where the rubber meets the road.
00:01:53.290 --> 00:01:57.930
Hey, I'm Melissa, and welcome to my question for you.
00:01:58.409 --> 00:02:05.930
This is a devotional podcast where we slow down and draw close to God one question at a time.
00:02:06.650 --> 00:02:09.689
And today my question for you is this.
00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:14.939
What might happen if you trust God here?
00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:20.139
And what are you going to do with the floor God just gave you?
00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:23.180
I want you to really think about that for a second.
00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:37.099
We spend so much time asking God to take the ceiling off our lives, but he is asking, what are you going to do now that he's put solid ground under your feet?
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.520
You've prayed for clarity.
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.280
You've asked for direction.
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.080
You've asked God to stabilize things.
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.000
The question now is not whether he is answered.
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:56.639
The question is whether you are going to move on what he's already made stable in your life.
00:03:06.229 --> 00:03:08.389
I want to take you to a story in Acts 3.
00:03:08.870 --> 00:03:13.909
It's a fresh story for us, but I think you're going to find that it feels very familiar.
00:03:14.870 --> 00:03:20.870
There's a man who's been stuck literally his entire life.
00:03:21.909 --> 00:03:31.759
He has been lame since birth, and every single day for years, he's carried to a gate called the Beautiful to beg.
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:33.599
Let's.
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.319
Let's just pause on the irony of that for a second.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.280
He was stuck at a gate called Beautiful.
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.840
Sometimes our ruts are beautiful.
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.840
They are comfortable.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.039
They're predictable.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:04:02.719
You can be stuck in a beautiful job that you hate or a Beautiful routine or a beautiful relationship that has no life left in looks acceptable from the outside.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.840
And that means that makes it even easier to stay there, right?
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.599
Even though it doesn't make sense, sometimes we stay and we linger longer than we know we should.
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.800
Well, this man was not looking for a miracle anymore.
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.920
He was looking for coins to help him just survive the day.
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:29.769
He had been there so long that he had just accepted where he was and wasn't even looking for a way out.
00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:35.209
At some point, disappointment shrinks our expectations.
00:04:35.930 --> 00:04:40.728
You stop asking for transformation and you just start asking for maintenance.
00:04:40.728 --> 00:04:41.930
Just let me get by.
00:04:42.889 --> 00:04:47.290
You have a tendency to adjust to what hurts.
00:04:47.290 --> 00:04:47.930
Sometimes.
00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.339
Sometimes we can build a rhythm around limitation.
00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:58.019
We can convince ourselves that surviving is the same thing as living.
00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:02.500
That is what long term stuckness can do to you.
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:07.379
It slowly teaches you to lower your hope and your expectations.
00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:14.019
So when Peter and John walk by this man, he does what he's always done.
00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:15.620
He begs.
00:05:16.750 --> 00:05:18.110
But Peter stops.
00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:25.310
He does not just toss a coin like the man might have been expecting or hoping that he would.
00:05:25.870 --> 00:05:28.750
Instead, he says, look at us.
00:05:30.350 --> 00:05:33.069
That is the first step of getting unstuck.
00:05:33.709 --> 00:05:35.949
It is the look at us moment.
00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:44.189
It's God interrupting the identity you have grown used to and calling you back to who you actually are.
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:55.399
It's the moment when you realize that you have accepted a beggar's position in an area where you were meant to stand as a child of God.
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:01.399
So Peter says, silver and gold I do not have.
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.079
But what I do have, I give you.
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.290
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:17.250
Here's the part I want to settle deep in your spirit.
00:06:17.970 --> 00:06:23.329
The Bible says Peter took him by the right hand and lifted him up.
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:29.889
And as he was being lifted, his feet and ankles received strength.
00:06:31.329 --> 00:06:32.449
Did you catch that?
00:06:33.170 --> 00:06:36.769
The strength did not come while he was sitting on the ground.
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.600
It met him in the motion of standing up.
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.040
That means the miracle did not start in his muscles.
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.920
It started in his decision.
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.800
He had to shift his weight.
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.360
He had to respond to the hand extended toward him.
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.199
And he had to move before he felt ready.
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.930
And as he moved, strength met him there.
00:07:06.290 --> 00:07:15.730
For those of you who are new to faith, or maybe you have known God your whole life, we all make the same mistake.
00:07:16.850 --> 00:07:21.170
We wait to feel strong before we feel like we can move and take that step.
00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:23.250
We wait for confidence.
00:07:23.250 --> 00:07:25.250
We wait for certainty.
00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:30.069
We wait for the emotional surgeon that tells us we are ready.
00:07:30.790 --> 00:07:35.750
But in the kingdom of God, strength is often discovered in obedience.
00:07:36.149 --> 00:07:37.430
And not before that.
00:07:37.509 --> 00:07:40.069
Not before it we talk about that all the time.
00:07:40.870 --> 00:07:47.589
The strength comes in actually making the move, deciding to move forward.
00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:55.519
In episode six of this series, we talked about double mindedness, that internal tug of war.
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:07.360
This man had to decide whether he wanted the safety of his familiar spot at the gate or if he wanted the risk of taking a stranger's hand.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.319
He could have pulled back.
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.519
He didn't have to take Peter's hand.
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.720
He could have reasoned himself out of it.
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:21.750
And he could have chosen the known discomfort over the unknown possibility.
00:08:23.829 --> 00:08:31.670
James, chapter one, verse 22 tells us, do not merely listen to the word, do what it says.
00:08:33.350 --> 00:08:42.309
If this man had believed Peter could heal him but stayed sitting, he would still be a beggar at a beautiful gate.
00:08:43.350 --> 00:08:46.950
Belief alone would not have changed his condition.
00:08:48.230 --> 00:08:50.230
Movement is what changed it.
00:08:52.070 --> 00:09:00.629
As we close this series, I want the energy in your spirit to be palpable, but I also want it to be grounded.
00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:04.950
This is not about hype, it's about action.
00:09:06.389 --> 00:09:15.360
Hebrews chapter 12, verse 1 tells us to throw off everything that hinders and run with perseverance.
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:22.080
You cannot run if you are still narrating your problems from the sidewalk.
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:30.639
You cannot run if you insist on staying seated while God is asking for momentum.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:38.799
Before you answer this week's question out loud, I want you to answer it honestly to yourself.
00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:44.529
What if the gate you have been sitting at, what is that?
00:09:44.690 --> 00:09:45.809
What is that gate?
00:09:47.330 --> 00:09:48.529
Where are you stuck?
00:09:49.809 --> 00:09:54.610
Where have you convinced yourself that coins are enough?
00:09:55.250 --> 00:10:00.649
When God has already offered you legs, when God is offering you so much more?
00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:01.809
Where are you settling?
00:10:02.529 --> 00:10:03.409
Where have you.
00:10:03.409 --> 00:10:09.100
Where have you adjusted to something that God might be inviting you to rise from?
00:10:10.539 --> 00:10:15.340
And more importantly, what are you going to do about it?
00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:26.539
If you have been thinking about that dream since we started this series way back in episode five, stop thinking and start doing.
00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:37.190
If you have been praying about forgiving that person, stop rehearsing what you're going to say in your mind and just start making the phone call.
00:10:37.669 --> 00:10:39.429
Have the difficult conversation.
00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:50.230
And if you've been asking God for courage, just start with one small act of obedience that requires it.
00:10:51.909 --> 00:10:53.269
Faith is not a thought.
00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:55.350
It is not a feeling.
00:10:56.389 --> 00:10:57.590
It is a step.
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.240
The man at the gate did not just walk.
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:06.679
He went from walking to leaping to praising God.
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:18.039
That transformation did not happen while he was analyzing his situation, wondering what he should do, expecting to receive a coin instead of a hand up.
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.440
It happened because he responded to the hand that was extended toward him.
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:42.039
Well, this is the end of our unstuck series, but I really do hope that it is just the beginning of your movement.
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:49.679
Do not let this be just another podcast that you listen to while you are folding laundry or driving in the car.
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:54.370
And maybe you heard part of it, but not all of it, and maybe it didn't quite sink in.
00:11:54.769 --> 00:12:03.090
I really do hope you will let this be the moment that you reach for the hand that has already been extended toward you.
00:12:04.049 --> 00:12:15.409
Let this be the day that you stop asking whether God is going to do something and start asking whether you are going to respond to what he has already done.
00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:27.740
The promise still stands, the floor is still solid, and you are not suspended in uncertainty the way that you think you are.
00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:34.539
God has already stabilized more than you have noticed, more than you can imagine.
00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:38.860
Now the question is, what are you going to do with it?
00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:41.529
What are you going to do in this moment?
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.080
Moment?
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:44.799
I hope that you will go walk.
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.279
I hope that you will go leap.
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.919
And more than anything, I hope that you will go live, go forward.
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.519
Thank you for trusting me with your journey.
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.399
Thank you for sticking with me through this unstuck series.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:10.480
And I really do hope that it has left you with some encouragement for your spirit and wisdom for your walk and that you will take that step that you know you've been needing to take.
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.600
Before you go.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:26.159
If today's question stayed with you, I'd love to keep the conversation going.
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:41.289
Each week I send a short email called this Week's A Quiet Invitation, and it's a simple reflection to help you stay grounded, to pay attention, to dive deeper into God's word, and to walk with God throughout your week.
00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:49.210
You can sign up at my question for you.com bringing you encouragement for your spirit and wisdom for your walk.
00:14:04.789 --> 00:14:05.029
It.
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:25.280
Before we go any further, I want you to take a deep, steady breath.
00:00:26.949 --> 00:00:29.750
We've been walking together for five weeks now.
00:00:30.309 --> 00:00:38.310
And if you've been with me since the beginning of this unstuck series, you know this wasn't just a series about feeling better.
00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:41.109
It was a rescue mission for your life.
00:00:42.310 --> 00:00:47.270
So if you've been here since episode five, you have done more than just listen.
00:00:47.909 --> 00:00:50.710
You have examined your own patterns.
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.880
You've wrestled with your thoughts.
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.640
Maybe you've even confronted places where you've been stuck longer than you wanted to admit.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.359
This series was never about hype or temporary motivation.
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:05.840
It has been about honesty.
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.280
And honesty often feels uncomfortable before it feels freeing.
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.480
We started by asking the diagnostic question.
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.969
We asked, are you living in your head or in your life?
00:01:21.010 --> 00:01:26.049
We looked at the roots of what might be keeping you there and sat with that strange.
00:01:26.769 --> 00:01:29.250
We called it the Tuesday morning after the leap.
00:01:29.489 --> 00:01:30.450
We sat with that.
00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:35.569
That strange place where the adrenaline fades and real obedience begins.
00:01:35.969 --> 00:01:45.609
And last week, we talked about not needing the whole map, just the lamp to help illuminate and guide your next step.
00:01:46.489 --> 00:01:52.090
But today is the so what?
00:01:46.489 --> 00:01:52.090
Today is where the rubber meets the road.
00:01:53.290 --> 00:01:57.930
Hey, I'm Melissa, and welcome to my question for you.
00:01:58.409 --> 00:02:05.930
This is a devotional podcast where we slow down and draw close to God one question at a time.
00:02:06.650 --> 00:02:09.689
And today my question for you is this.
00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:14.939
What might happen if you trust God here?
00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:20.139
And what are you going to do with the floor God just gave you?
00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:23.180
I want you to really think about that for a second.
00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:37.099
We spend so much time asking God to take the ceiling off our lives, but he is asking, what are you going to do now that he's put solid ground under your feet?
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.520
You've prayed for clarity.
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.280
You've asked for direction.
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.080
You've asked God to stabilize things.
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.000
The question now is not whether he is answered.
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:56.639
The question is whether you are going to move on what he's already made stable in your life.
00:03:06.229 --> 00:03:08.389
I want to take you to a story in Acts 3.
00:03:08.870 --> 00:03:13.909
It's a fresh story for us, but I think you're going to find that it feels very familiar.
00:03:14.870 --> 00:03:20.870
There's a man who's been stuck literally his entire life.
00:03:21.909 --> 00:03:31.759
He has been lame since birth, and every single day for years, he's carried to a gate called the Beautiful to beg.
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:33.599
Let's.
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.319
Let's just pause on the irony of that for a second.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.280
He was stuck at a gate called Beautiful.
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.840
Sometimes our ruts are beautiful.
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.840
They are comfortable.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.039
They're predictable.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:04:02.719
You can be stuck in a beautiful job that you hate or a Beautiful routine or a beautiful relationship that has no life left in looks acceptable from the outside.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.840
And that means that makes it even easier to stay there, right?
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.599
Even though it doesn't make sense, sometimes we stay and we linger longer than we know we should.
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.800
Well, this man was not looking for a miracle anymore.
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.920
He was looking for coins to help him just survive the day.
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:29.769
He had been there so long that he had just accepted where he was and wasn't even looking for a way out.
00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:35.209
At some point, disappointment shrinks our expectations.
00:04:35.930 --> 00:04:40.728
You stop asking for transformation and you just start asking for maintenance.
00:04:40.728 --> 00:04:41.930
Just let me get by.
00:04:42.889 --> 00:04:47.290
You have a tendency to adjust to what hurts.
00:04:47.290 --> 00:04:47.930
Sometimes.
00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.339
Sometimes we can build a rhythm around limitation.
00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:58.019
We can convince ourselves that surviving is the same thing as living.
00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:02.500
That is what long term stuckness can do to you.
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:07.379
It slowly teaches you to lower your hope and your expectations.
00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:14.019
So when Peter and John walk by this man, he does what he's always done.
00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:15.620
He begs.
00:05:16.750 --> 00:05:18.110
But Peter stops.
00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:25.310
He does not just toss a coin like the man might have been expecting or hoping that he would.
00:05:25.870 --> 00:05:28.750
Instead, he says, look at us.
00:05:30.350 --> 00:05:33.069
That is the first step of getting unstuck.
00:05:33.709 --> 00:05:35.949
It is the look at us moment.
00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:44.189
It's God interrupting the identity you have grown used to and calling you back to who you actually are.
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:55.399
It's the moment when you realize that you have accepted a beggar's position in an area where you were meant to stand as a child of God.
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:01.399
So Peter says, silver and gold I do not have.
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.079
But what I do have, I give you.
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.290
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:17.250
Here's the part I want to settle deep in your spirit.
00:06:17.970 --> 00:06:23.329
The Bible says Peter took him by the right hand and lifted him up.
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:29.889
And as he was being lifted, his feet and ankles received strength.
00:06:31.329 --> 00:06:32.449
Did you catch that?
00:06:33.170 --> 00:06:36.769
The strength did not come while he was sitting on the ground.
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.600
It met him in the motion of standing up.
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.040
That means the miracle did not start in his muscles.
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.920
It started in his decision.
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.800
He had to shift his weight.
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.360
He had to respond to the hand extended toward him.
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.199
And he had to move before he felt ready.
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.930
And as he moved, strength met him there.
00:07:06.290 --> 00:07:15.730
For those of you who are new to faith, or maybe you have known God your whole life, we all make the same mistake.
00:07:16.850 --> 00:07:21.170
We wait to feel strong before we feel like we can move and take that step.
00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:23.250
We wait for confidence.
00:07:23.250 --> 00:07:25.250
We wait for certainty.
00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:30.069
We wait for the emotional surgeon that tells us we are ready.
00:07:30.790 --> 00:07:35.750
But in the kingdom of God, strength is often discovered in obedience.
00:07:36.149 --> 00:07:37.430
And not before that.
00:07:37.509 --> 00:07:40.069
Not before it we talk about that all the time.
00:07:40.870 --> 00:07:47.589
The strength comes in actually making the move, deciding to move forward.
00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:55.519
In episode six of this series, we talked about double mindedness, that internal tug of war.
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:07.360
This man had to decide whether he wanted the safety of his familiar spot at the gate or if he wanted the risk of taking a stranger's hand.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.319
He could have pulled back.
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.519
He didn't have to take Peter's hand.
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.720
He could have reasoned himself out of it.
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:21.750
And he could have chosen the known discomfort over the unknown possibility.
00:08:23.829 --> 00:08:31.670
James, chapter one, verse 22 tells us, do not merely listen to the word, do what it says.
00:08:33.350 --> 00:08:42.309
If this man had believed Peter could heal him but stayed sitting, he would still be a beggar at a beautiful gate.
00:08:43.350 --> 00:08:46.950
Belief alone would not have changed his condition.
00:08:48.230 --> 00:08:50.230
Movement is what changed it.
00:08:52.070 --> 00:09:00.629
As we close this series, I want the energy in your spirit to be palpable, but I also want it to be grounded.
00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:04.950
This is not about hype, it's about action.
00:09:06.389 --> 00:09:15.360
Hebrews chapter 12, verse 1 tells us to throw off everything that hinders and run with perseverance.
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:22.080
You cannot run if you are still narrating your problems from the sidewalk.
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:30.639
You cannot run if you insist on staying seated while God is asking for momentum.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:38.799
Before you answer this week's question out loud, I want you to answer it honestly to yourself.
00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:44.529
What if the gate you have been sitting at, what is that?
00:09:44.690 --> 00:09:45.809
What is that gate?
00:09:47.330 --> 00:09:48.529
Where are you stuck?
00:09:49.809 --> 00:09:54.610
Where have you convinced yourself that coins are enough?
00:09:55.250 --> 00:10:00.649
When God has already offered you legs, when God is offering you so much more?
00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:01.809
Where are you settling?
00:10:02.529 --> 00:10:03.409
Where have you.
00:10:03.409 --> 00:10:09.100
Where have you adjusted to something that God might be inviting you to rise from?
00:10:10.539 --> 00:10:15.340
And more importantly, what are you going to do about it?
00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:26.539
If you have been thinking about that dream since we started this series way back in episode five, stop thinking and start doing.
00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:37.190
If you have been praying about forgiving that person, stop rehearsing what you're going to say in your mind and just start making the phone call.
00:10:37.669 --> 00:10:39.429
Have the difficult conversation.
00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:50.230
And if you've been asking God for courage, just start with one small act of obedience that requires it.
00:10:51.909 --> 00:10:53.269
Faith is not a thought.
00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:55.350
It is not a feeling.
00:10:56.389 --> 00:10:57.590
It is a step.
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.240
The man at the gate did not just walk.
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:06.679
He went from walking to leaping to praising God.
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:18.039
That transformation did not happen while he was analyzing his situation, wondering what he should do, expecting to receive a coin instead of a hand up.
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.440
It happened because he responded to the hand that was extended toward him.
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:42.039
Well, this is the end of our unstuck series, but I really do hope that it is just the beginning of your movement.
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:49.679
Do not let this be just another podcast that you listen to while you are folding laundry or driving in the car.
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:54.370
And maybe you heard part of it, but not all of it, and maybe it didn't quite sink in.
00:11:54.769 --> 00:12:03.090
I really do hope you will let this be the moment that you reach for the hand that has already been extended toward you.
00:12:04.049 --> 00:12:15.409
Let this be the day that you stop asking whether God is going to do something and start asking whether you are going to respond to what he has already done.
00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:27.740
The promise still stands, the floor is still solid, and you are not suspended in uncertainty the way that you think you are.
00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:34.539
God has already stabilized more than you have noticed, more than you can imagine.
00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:38.860
Now the question is, what are you going to do with it?
00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:41.529
What are you going to do in this moment?
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.080
Moment?
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:44.799
I hope that you will go walk.
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.279
I hope that you will go leap.
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.919
And more than anything, I hope that you will go live, go forward.
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.519
Thank you for trusting me with your journey.
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.399
Thank you for sticking with me through this unstuck series.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:10.480
And I really do hope that it has left you with some encouragement for your spirit and wisdom for your walk and that you will take that step that you know you've been needing to take.
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.600
Before you go.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:26.159
If today's question stayed with you, I'd love to keep the conversation going.
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:41.289
Each week I send a short email called this Week's A Quiet Invitation, and it's a simple reflection to help you stay grounded, to pay attention, to dive deeper into God's word, and to walk with God throughout your week.
00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:49.210
You can sign up at my question for you.com bringing you encouragement for your spirit and wisdom for your walk.
00:14:04.789 --> 00:14:05.029
It.
