If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. – Martin Luther King Jr
If you’re serious about getting to the next level, then you’re going to have to make some sacrifices. Whether that means hitting the gym when you don’t feel like it, or simply setting aside some time to focus on your objective, you have to be willing to put in the time and effort so you can hit the next plateau and move on.
Anytime you are about to go to a new level, God will bring new people into your life. These people become the relationships that God uses to release you from the old and move you into the new.
The apostle Paul was a wonderful man of God, yet he still needed the encouragement and support of other people, and God brought the right person into his life for specific reasons. When Paul needed to be healed, God sent Ananias. If God hadn’t, Paul’s ministry would never have begun. When Paul was discouraged, tired, and afraid, God sent someone to encourage him and lift him up.
Somebody else has already made it through the mess that you’re struggling to get through. When you connect with that person, the power of God begins to flow in a new way in your life and you find yourself moving from where you are to where you need to be.
God sees the real you. He sees your potential. He sees what is inside of you that can take you into your destiny.
Joshua was always hanging around Moses. Elisha’s success was found in his relationship with Elijah. Be open and willing to learn as God uses relationships and connections with other people to move you to a new level.
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.” Ecclesiastes 4:9–10
