Tension

A victorious army marches to a rhythm in unison🎖️

It’s not just for show; it signifies the value of a team, boosts confidence in each individual, and intimidates an opposing force.

It reinforces the need for discipline and consistency to become a strong unit.

You would not successfully form an army if everyone marched to their own beat.

🎖️Would they hear the orders of those in leadership?
🎖️Would they find strength in their numbers to the same degree?

Probably not.

You cannot be in rhythm if you are in tension.

Think of situations in your life right now.

Do you have areas where there is tension?

Like a tense muscle, tension in any part of your life will have a similar effect.

A muscle held in chronic tension will use up all of your energy and cause pain, muscle weakness, and overall fatigue.

It will restrict your freedom of movement.

The ripple effect continues as a lack of daily exercise will cause stiffness, reduced mobility, and impaired balance, which also invites disease or other ill health conditions.

Tension will fight against consistency in your life, often causing us to march to our beat rather than in unison with God’s rhythm.

You won’t be able to hear His voice and direction when tension restricts your movement. If it goes unattended too long, it can cause much more significant emotional and spiritual obstacles.

To walk aligned to God’s rhythm, remember you must deal with any restrictive part of your life.

Ask yourself the main things that prevent you from staying disciplined and consistent, and seek God to find a way to combat it and return to His pace.

Choose God, in whom there are always ways to find healing and strength, rather than wrestle on your own with the struggles tension brings.

“This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but power, love, and self-discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:6-7
