Get Out of The Way

Man of God, it’s time for some real talk.

Get. Out. Of. The. Way.

We sabotage ourselves more than we realize. The crazy part? Our ego is usually the main culprit. If you asked your ego, it would swear you’re doing everything right. Grinding. Pushing. Hustling harder than the rest. You’ve even got the perfect response locked and loaded when someone asks what you’ve been up to:

You break it down like a boss — goals, strategy, hustle, sacrifices — the whole nine. It sounds good. You sound like an animal. A warrior. The man.

But here’s the truth:

What your ego says, and what’s actually true, are often two completely different things.

The ego is a master manipulator. It’s designed to protect you, especially your feelings. It shields you from discomfort, excuses you from accountability, and whispers sweet lies that keep you stuck.

But God isn’t trying to protect your comfort.

He’s trying to grow your character.

And growth? It hurts.

That’s why Hebrews 12:11 hits so hard. Discipline is painful. Sacrifice is uncomfortable. But it’s in that pain — in the pressure — that the fruit of righteousness is born.

So stop running from the fire.
Let it forge you!

Deny your flesh. Deny your ego. Break the bonds of your comfort zone and surrender to the refining process. Only then can you rise and build the life of purpose God designed you for!

Don’t just get motivated.
Get transformed!

God Bless 🙏🏿✌🏿💙💪🏿
