Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
I have a pattern of slipping in and out of my comfort zones.
I bet you do too.
Every once in a while God will challenge you to step out of a comfort zone, usually one you didn’t even know existed until you are feeling un-comfortable.
Stepping out of your comfort zones:
– is hard and takes work
– is exhausting because it is hard and takes work
– is scary because it is unknown and you don’t know the outcome
God calls you to step out of your comfort zones:
– to grow you
– because growth happens outside comfort zones
– to call you out of ordinary living and into faith-filled living with Him
Years ago, I prayed a prayer that sounded something like, “I won’t hold anything back. I will obey and use every gift I have and even the ones I think aren’t good enough. You call, I will come. You say the word, I will obey. Use me however you wish, I won’t argue with You.”
And God took me up on it.
Is God calling you to step out of a comfort zone today?
Is He challenging you to a new level of surrender and courage?
Is He is calling you to trust and depend on Him in a new way?
Say yes.
Get out of your comfort zone today and do something impossible with God.
“Come,” Jesus said. “So Peter got out of the boat. He walked on the water toward Jesus.” Matthew 14:29 (NIRV)
