A Happier New Year: Getting There — From Here | Part 4: Lean Into It

Momentum Is Built by — Not Certainty

Hebrews 11:8 (MSG)
By an act of faith, Abraham said yes to God’s call
to travel to an unknown place that would become his home.
When he left he had no idea where he was going.

Momentum starts when we begin obeying
what we already know to do.

Acts 8:26,27 (NIV)
An angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
²⁷ So he started out …

Psalm 37:23 (NLT)
The Lord directs the steps of the godly and delights in every detail of their lives.

Momentum Requires Staying — in The Middle

The middle “hard part” is not in the way —
it is a God-intended part of the way.

Genesis 12:10 (MSG)
Then a famine came to the land. Abram went down to Egypt to live; it was a hard famine.

When pressure rises in the middle — and it will —
don’t stop leaning in to God!

Momentum Is Fueled by — Small, Faithful

Deuteronomy 7:22 (NLT)
The Lord your God will drive those nations out ahead of you — little by little.

The goal is not to be finished —
the goal is to be faithful.

Keep moving forward —
obediently going without fully knowing.

Stay engaged in the middle —
don’t drift down, keep climbing up.

Take the next small, faithful step — today.
