It’s Not What You Know — It’s Your Posture
Everyone is being carried by something.
Culture has a current, and so does the River of Life, but if we’re not paying attention, we don’t actually choose the current — it chooses us.
Going against the current isn’t about being smarter, more spiritual, or knowing more Bible. It’s about posture.
Two people can hear the same sermon, read the same verse, and walk away completely different. Not because of information — but because of how they came in listening.
Most of us think we’re open to God… until He disagrees with us. That’s when posture shows up.
We live in a world that’s quick to speak, quick to react, and quick to defend. And we often bring that same posture into our faith. We read Scripture with our answers already loaded, looking for confirmation instead of transformation.
A full cup can’t receive anything new.
Sometimes God doesn’t feel distant because He’s silent — but because our hands are full.
Jesus invites us to a different way. He describes Himself as gentle and humble in heart and invites us to learn from Him. He doesn’t force surrender. He invites it.
The question isn’t, “Am I right?”
The question is, “Am I open?”
Because posture determines whether Scripture shapes us — or whether we just use it to protect what we already believe.
And the River of Life flows best through open hands.
