"Before I Make Another Move" by Kierra Sol: Why Pausing Is the Boldest Act of Faith


What if the bravest thing you could do wasn't to move faster, but actually to pause? That's the key message of "Before I Make Another Move" by Kierra Sol. It's an anthem for anyone trying to hear God before they move.

Kierra Sol - Before I Make Another MoveThe song speaks directly to those in-between moments between moving forward and waiting on direction. Not lost, but it's not clear either. You're ready to move, but something inside says wait, what if I get it wrong… The pressure is real. The fear of getting it wrong is real. And in that silence, doubts can creep in - especially when it feels like everyone else is progressing while you're still standing still.

This song is a reminder that pausing isn't falling behind. Instead of rushing ahead, Kierra invites you not to rush those things that require His direction. Her message is honest, relatable, and deeply freeing when you are able to accept that posture of dependence. The key is to hear clearly, trust fully, and try not to rush ahead of what God is doing. 

Does it sound familiar? Do you feel the urgency to move forward while you're not (yet) hearing His direction? If that is the case, Kierra shared that this song was especially written for you! Don't underestimate the power of a surrendered pause! Go ahead and give the long a listen. May it recalibrate your next step. Take a moment, breathe, and pray… "Before I make another move, I just need to know You're still leading, God."

(Related scripture: Psalm 37:7; Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 30:21)

Breathe 
And don’t rush what requires direction

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
