FEET, DON'T FAIL ME NOW!!

Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do know: Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

There comes a point in life where you refuse to stay in one place, feeling comfortable over the familiar. Familiarity is an enemy. It truly can destroy any hope for true progress or advancement. The enemy, whether we call him Satan, or if this enemy is inside of us, would like so much for us to get comfortable with where we are. I refuse. I don't ever want to be in a place where my feet have no new places to tread. I don't ever want to get to a level of compacency or despondency. I would hate if all I could say to my children or other people I come in contact with is "this is all, and I'm satisfied." The truth of the matter is: This is not all, and I am not satisfied. Every now and then, I have to go old school and remind myself to keep moving by saying, "Feet, don't fail me now." (Now, of course, my mind (or brain) controls my feet; but please understand the undertone of that phrase.)

My grandmother past away a few days ago, and I know for a fact that she wouldn't want me to get trapped in what I know; she would want me to tread on territory never charted by my family. I will make sure I honor that, not only for her, but for me--and sho' nuf for God!! I don't want to get caught up in trying to do everything. All I aspire to do is everything that I know God has called me to do. The fact of the matter is that what I do for God has nothing to do with what potential benefits may come to me; what I do impacts other people; therefore, I have to keep moving because there are folks connected to me, and I refuse to lead them away from God or their own purpose in life.

I gotta keep movin'. I gotta...

Feet, don't fail me now!!!
