Sometimes in life, we all need a good PUSH.
I think about a child learning to ride a bicycle without training wheels. You can see the excitement and the fear in their eyes. They want the freedom to ride, but not the fall that might come with it. And then—there’s that moment when a loving parent stands behind them, gives one good push, and says, “You got it! Keep going!”
That’s how God works with us.
Sometimes we want to rush the process and prove we can handle things before we’re ready. We think we’re strong enough to balance our own weight—to ride through life independently. But then, the winds of disappointment, delay, or distraction start to blow, and we realize we still need His hand on the seat. We need that divine push to get us moving again.
No matter where you find yourself—whether it’s in your career, ministry, education, or your walk with God—there will come a time when you need that extra push. Even a woman who has carried her baby for nine full months can’t bring that baby into the world without one final, powerful PUSH.
Whatever God has placed inside of you—every dream, vision, or purpose—will require your willingness to push past fear, past disappointment, and past your own disbelief. Because sometimes what God promised seems delayed, and you start to wonder if it will ever happen. But just because it’s taking longer than you expected doesn’t mean it’s not coming forth. It just means the delivery requires your participation.
I remember after graduating high school, I told myself I wasn’t going back to school. I thought, “Jesus is coming soon, so what’s the point?” I was waiting on His return but not doing anything to develop myself in the meantime. I spent a whole year just drifting—no direction, no progress—until a friend looked at me and said, “You need to go to college.” That one statement changed my entire trajectory. It was the PUSH I needed. I registered the next day.
Years later, when it came time to go back for my Master’s degree, that push didn’t come as easily. It took years—many small nudges from different people, and even divine conviction—before I finally obeyed. I was comfortable where I was. I had a good job, stability, and familiarity. But God was calling me higher. I didn’t realize that the next degree wasn’t just about education—it was about preparation. It was about being seated at tables I never would’ve reached otherwise.
Sometimes God’s push isn’t about a classroom—it’s about positioning. It’s not just about acquiring knowledge but being aligned with purpose. He will surround you with people who will challenge you to grow, confront your comfort, and push you toward the next level of your destiny.
Maybe you’ve lost your job and feel like your world has gone dark. But what if that’s not rejection? What if it’s a divine redirection? Maybe God is finally giving you the space and time to build that business, start that ministry, or finish that book you’ve been carrying for years.
God knows when to push us. He knows when to let go so we can ride and when to steady us before we fall. His push doesn’t come to punish you—it comes to propel you. You are not being abandoned; you’re being launched.
So, if you’re feeling the pressure right now, take courage—it’s not the end; it’s the PUSH before the promise. God is opening doors, aligning divine connections, and surrounding you with people who will help you move into your NEXT.
It’s time to balance, breathe, and believe again. Don’t be afraid of the push—it’s God’s way of saying, “You got it. Keep going.”
