“Lost in the Detail”
By Ps AJ Chuson of Zeal Youth and Young Adults
Posture is everything. Your posture is vital to what you are able to do, and what you are not able to do. A posture is formed from habit and lifestyle, you will find that if your posture is bad you will be unable to do the things you were once able to do before. This is seen with how your posture is in reality. However, when you apply this to your spiritual posture, things change dramatically. With the same outcomes applied. If you have bad spiritual posture you will reap a meager harvest in things that you do. So it is absolutely crucial that you get your posture adjusted so you can experience completely what God has in store for you today.
When it comes to this adjustment we want it fast, we want it done and we want it completed without any issues. However when it’s not fast, it’s not done, and there are many issues and distractions along the way, you feel like God has abandoned you and has given up on you.
But in reality, your posture is being adjusted to best receive what He has for you. Because if your posture is bad, you wouldn’t be able to carry the load- whether it be a blessing for yourself or for others. He is adjusting your very trajectory, millimeter by millimeter. It may not be quick, but it’s the most intentional and precise. God is a God of precision and excellence, He will not rush the process for your convenience, He will take you through the process so you are effective.
In this world a lot of people want things fast. People want to receive their promises fast, people want to receive their promotion fast, people want to understand everything fast. There are a lot of things we want in a rush because we feel that we will be left behind in doing things. I know for myself that I’ve had many a night praying and praying for God to promote me, but God asked me the question- Who are you rushing me for?. And that got me to realise that I was doing things out of my own convenience- I was covering my selfish desires with a seemingly “Christian-like” request. We need to be real with ourselves, what is the rush?
If we truly believe that God is omnipresent and omnipotent, then we need to believe in our hearts that God’s timing is the best timing for you and for those around you- no excuses or reasons to believe otherwise. Because before you can be intentional, influential and impactful in your promise or the very thing you desire, God is aligning your trajectory to there through victory in Jesus’ name. One millimeter. At . A. Time.
