I will be WILLING.
They say PRESSURE busts the pipe...or does it?
We ALL experience pressure packed in unique and confronting ways. But in every way, pressure presents itself as the Black Adam in the room (we give God praise for Dwayne) - tough, giant, a strong opponent, but ALSO not as BAD as it seems.
Pressure is the stage for breakthrough... and one I find myself on often. It's the arena where pain goes head to head with purpose and only one takes the ring home.
As I turn the pages on the history book of “me”, reflecting on seasons and moments of extreme pressure, I find my previous self standing on the field of life questioning and deciding who am I willing to be and what am I willing to do NOW to become who I want to be in the future.
Today's intention word for the Hustle + Soul: WILLING
Am I WILLING to pay the price for greatness?
Am I WILLING to step outside of my preference for the greater picture?
Am I WILLING to trust God even when it hurts?
Am I WILLING to push when I could easily retreat?
Am I WILLING to let go in faith when I could fight to control and fix?
Am. I. Willing...?
The Bible tells us that if we are WILLING and obedient we will eat the fruit of the land. Isaiah 1:19
Obedience speaks to aligned action, but willingness is about the HEART - the attitude.
I'm easily one of the most impressively stubborn people I've had the privilege of knowing, and without a doubt these words constantly challenge me. But when I lean into that inner "nevertheless not my will but Your will be done" I've been amazed at what can be accomplished in me, through me, and around me.
Where my willing people at?
Let's GOoooo!
