What does it mean? Picture soldiers in a platoon, one quick command, and suddenly everyone\u2019s heading in a new direction. That\u2019s a pivot &#8212; a complete shift in how we approach something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s talk about our faith walk. Sometimes, we need a good, old-fashioned pivot. We might need to change how we make decisions, how we talk to our spouse, or how we relate to our friends and family. And let&#8217;s be real &#8212; we could all use a pivot when it comes to how we react to conflicts. It&#8217;s time to ditch the &#8220;my way or the highway&#8221; mentality and take a turn towards grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how about our time with God? Maybe it\u2019s time for a pivot there, too. If we\u2019ve been stuck in a rut, it\u2019s time to jump out and into a new league &#8212; the Kingdom of God. It\u2019s where the real action happens, where we\u2019re called to greatness, and where stubbornness has no place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re in a spiritual battle, my friends, and knowing when to pivot is crucial. It\u2019s like being in a game, and we\u2019ve got to learn the plays. Holding onto old grudges or negative thoughts? Pivot. Stuck in the past while God\u2019s waving us into our future? Pivot. Clinging to our perspective just to be \u201cright\u201d? Pivot, pivot, pivot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God has amazing plans for us, but sometimes we\u2019ve got to let go and let Him call the plays. If it\u2019s against His will, it\u2019s time to pivot &#8212; drop it, leave it, walk away, and never look back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when the Holy Spirit nudges us to change things up by surrendering our will to His, it\u2019s time to pivot. Feeling comfortable in a situation that\u2019s more shackled than blessing? That\u2019s a red flag! God has so much more for us, but we\u2019ll never get it if we refuse to pivot and see the beauty that was there all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, pivoting can be uncomfortable. It stretches us, and there are no guarantees. But isn\u2019t that what faith is all about? Faith is being sure of what we can\u2019t see, not holding onto what\u2019s already in our grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no faith in sitting on the sidelines, but when we let go and let God show us the beauty of something new by pivoting toward His promises, new doors will open, more faithful and encouraging friends show up, and the roads may go from bumpy to smooth sailing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to pivot? Me, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you noticed how &#8220;pivot&#8221; has become the buzzword lately? What does it mean?
