Divine Direction for Daily Living: Stop Overthinking, Start Moving: #MakingMovesMonday
Manage episode 513399401 series 3638359
You know that feeling when you're standing at a crossroads, completely paralyzed, scrolling through your phone at 2am trying to figure out your next move? Yeah, we've all been there.
On today's Making Moves Monday episode of the Suite Spot, Dr. Derek Suite digs into why even the smartest, most capable people among us get stuck in decision paralysis and finds some unexpected wisdom in a passage that's been around way longer than our anxiety has.
Turns out Psalm 23 isn't just poetry. It's a masterclass in how to move through life without losing your mind.
Our ancestors knew something that modern science is just now proving in labs with fancy brain scans. Those "still waters" everyone talks about in Psalm 23? That's not just pretty imagery. It's a reminder that our best decisions don't come from panic or force. They come from a calmer place.
TD Jakes puts it beautifully when he talks about how we can't steer a parked car. Sometimes we're so afraid of making the wrong move that we don't move at all. But faith requires motion.
When we're gripping the steering wheel so tight our knuckles are white, our brain literally can't think straight. The prefrontal cortex, our decision-making headquarters, basically goes offline when we're stressed and trying to control everything.
But when we learn to trust the process, to be led instead of dragging ourselves forward? That's when clarity shows up. That's when we find our flow.
Kendrick Lamar said it in a way that hit different: sometimes you have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Growth lives in that space.
So today's real question isn't "What should I do?" It's "Where am I holding on too tight?"
Progress doesn't need a perfect plan. It just needs you to take one step with a little bit of trust.
AFFIRMATION:
I release my need to control every outcome. I step forward boldly, trusting that my path is unfolding exactly as it should.
