Unlike motivation, momentum is an action, and can be kept regardless of how we feel.
With momentum, progress comes much more readily. However, without it, our progress and the likelihood of achieving our goals quickly fades.
1. Momentum is not merely the motion!
That tells me we can move and wiggle and have all kinds of motion and not have any momentum, huh? We can! And you know where we see that the most? When a church is in conflict. When spouses are so busy blaming one another they can’t see the good in each other. When employees are so busy complaining about their bosses, they can’t see the great job they have when so many are out of work.
Momentum is not merely the motion it is power.
Momentum
2. Is the Power residing in a moving object. Wow!! Notice the capital “P” on POWER!! We’re the moving object, and it is the POWER residing in US, that gives us momentum!!
It is the power residing in us AS WE MOVE, that gives us momentum. It is THE POWER - the one and only, living, active, all-knowing, always present, all mighty God RESIDING in US when we’re moving!
If we’re not moving, we’re dead. But the movement is DEFINED by the power residing in us!!
3. Captured by today’s mathematical definitions.
Captured by our FAITH!!!
Without faith, it is impossible to please God! We capture the momentum when we are God-focused.
So the momentum that I am is experiencing right now then, is:
THE POWER OF ALMIGHTY GOD RESIDING IN ME AS I MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH!!
The good news is this. It can move in you too. The same Holy Spirit that moves me wants to move you to action.
Get moving! Don't know what direction? Get some help. Pray. Ask your pastor. Get a coach. Get a mentor. You can do this!
I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself.
