Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

The first night of the mission trip, Jordan, one of the YouthWorks staff challenged us to come with a goal for the week.  I started writing mine with "Lord, help me step out of my comfort zone..."

And I stopped writing.  Where would I be stepping from there?  What words could I write that would convey what I wanted to accomplish that week?  My mind was completely blank.  But then these words came to me, to finish my goal "and into your's."

Into God's comfort zone?  Yeah, I'll take it.  It might not be my own personal thing.  But I gotta believe that if He really is my Creator, and Father, and Savior, He's not going to let something happen to me that isn't supposed to if I'm really living, and moving, and having my being in His name.

So I'll pose the same challenge to you, as I did to my church this morning in my bit of the sermon: Step out of your comfort zone, and into God's.  It's challenging, to say the least.  But at the end of the day, there's really nothing more gratifying.  Anything earthly just feels anticlimactic next to the glory God can show us.
