Keep Moving Forward

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

Since last week’s celebration of the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., I have been pondering this quote. It speaks to me when I find myself discouraged and impatient. These words stand as a reminder that what each of us can do, each day, is keep going. Step by step, into an often uncertain future.

As the Church, this is our calling. At this time of rapid cultural change, we must keep looking ahead to the future God has prepared. The trick is figuring out what that is, and discovering how each of us can keep moving forward. As God draws us toward Him, standing still is not an option.
