Have you ever felt like you’re just on the verge of a breakthrough? You dove in head-first propelling yourself in the right direction, and now you’re teetering just on the edge. You can feel the pressure building as you approach your next step and something happens to interrupt your momentum. Maybe something unexpected happens in your life, you start to grow weary, or you begin to let doubt creep in and cause hesitancy.

As liquid is poured into a container and approaches its maximum capacity, the molecules will hold tightly together creating a natural resistance called surface tension. The more the container is overfilled with liquid, the stronger the surface tension needed to contain it.  At the most basic level, surface tension can be broken by two things: continued movement, and a greater external force. 

The pressures of the natural world will try to keep you contained in a place you’ve outgrown. Let facing resistance serve as confirmation that you are right where you need to be and headed in the right direction. James 1:2-4 says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance”. 

Keep pushing! Keep moving in faith, and keep praying! Your breakthrough is just on the other side. There is no limit on heavenly things, God’s supply can never be exhausted, and He will never fail to supply enough and more. 

2 Corinthians 9:8 says “And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work”. Just like David in Psalm 23, acknowledge that God is greater than the resistance you face, and let His abundance overflow your cup.
