Get Up

Some days, motivation feels distant, and you may not feel like getting up at all. You know what needs doing, yet your energy lags behind your intention. In those moments, waiting for perfect feelings rarely works. God often calls us to stand first, then strength follows. Movement awakens purpose, and purpose renews courage.

There is something prophetic about choosing action when comfort whispers stay still. Each small step breaks the weight of hesitation. When you begin, even slowly, you create space for God to meet you in motion. Faith is rarely passive. It grows as you rise, respond, and trust that God will sustain what He has started in you.

The Bible says, “God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him” (Philippians 2:13 MSG). Got for it, strength partners with our obedience. Let today be marked by movement, not delay.
