I don’t fit in anymore…
Have you ever caught yourself thinking this?
“I don’t really fit where I’m at, but I’m not sure where I’m supposed to go next.”
If you are honest, that thought usually shows up in quiet moments, not loud ones. It tends to surface when a man has outgrown an environment but has not yet stepped into what is next. You are not rebelling. You are not lost. You are simply aware that staying comfortable would cost you something deeper.
So what might that feeling actually mean?
Often it means God is stirring something before revealing everything. That tension you feel is not confusion, it is awareness. It is the space between who you have been and who you are becoming. Many men run from that space. Others numb it. But some lean in and listen.
Which leads to a bigger question. Are you giving God room to speak, or are you trying to outrun the silence?
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5–6 NIV
Notice what this does not say. It does not promise immediate clarity. It does not guarantee a detailed plan. It invites trust first. Alignment before explanation. Movement rooted in obedience, not certainty.
If you feel like a black sheep, it may be because you are refusing to settle for surface level answers. God does not waste that tension. He uses it to form leaders who can stand firm without needing constant validation or applause.
So before you move your body today, ask yourself this. When was the last time I truly got still long enough to listen?
Here is today’s active stillness challenge.
Find five quiet minutes. No phone. No music. No agenda. Sit or stand somewhere calm. Take slow breaths. Ask God one simple question.
“What are You inviting me into right now?”
Do not force an answer. Just listen.
After that stillness, move with intention.
Choose one.
Fifteen thousand steps today, ideally outside.
Or ten pushups every hour on the hour for ten hours.
Or a dead hang challenge, accumulate three total minutes throughout the day.
Let the movement be a continuation of the stillness, not a distraction from it.
And as you finish today, pray this in your own words, letting it become personal.
God, I ask You to bless me indeed. Enlarge my territory in the areas You are calling me to grow. Let Your hand be with me as I take steps forward, even when I cannot see the whole path. Keep me from fear that pulls me backward, and protect me from settling for less than You have planned. Align my thoughts, my body, and my obedience with Your voice. Amen.
This is not about having all the answers today.
It is about listening well and moving faithfully.
