Movement Brings You Close to God

Physically moving your body can lead you into an encounter with God. When you run, walk, dance, or move with intention, you create space to focus on what God is speaking to you. Connecting with God through Movement can prepare you for more, as it pushes you out of your comfort zone to physically pursue the One your heart longs for—Jesus.

Movement often makes it easier to hear God and enter into His presence because your body begins to reflect what is happening inside you spiritually. You are physically expressing your pursuit of Jesus. Translating inner thoughts, emotions, and circumstances into physical motion can make them feel more real and tangible.

The rocks of the earth don’t move unless something moves them. Trees that are rooted in the ground don’t shift unless the wind blows. You, however, are different. You have the power to choose when, how, and why you move. In doing so, you get the opportunity to move God’s heart by moving your body.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for designing me with the ability to move. I desire to please You with how I move. May my every movement be an act of worship that draws You near to me. Amen.

Application

Ask the Lord how He wants you to move for Him today. Close your eyes and allow the Lord to show you, then obey.
