Would you
hesitate? Would you resist? Or would you welcome His new
initiative?
We get so
comfortable in the status quo. We adapt to mediocrity, we lower our
expectations to reduce the danger of disappointment.
But what if God
is doing something new? What if He wanted to blow the doors off of your
expectations? What would that mean to you?
If God is doing
something new it will require your courage. Comfort comes with the known; the
unknown—even a good unknown—induces fear. Courage will empower you to act
despite your fear.
If God is doing
something new it will require your creativity. Your creativity will take
diverse thoughts and unarticulated desires and give them tangible expression.
If God is doing something new it will require your determination. Nothing of importance is ever easy. Your determination will be needed to overcome setbacks and criticisms.
If God is doing something new it will require your determination. Nothing of importance is ever easy. Your determination will be needed to overcome setbacks and criticisms.
Let God build
your courage, let Him fuel your creativity, let Him intensify your
determination. These are the tools He
has given you to move out of your comfort zone stagnation and into the future
of His purpose.
Focus Scripture: 'Thus says the LORD
your Redeemer . . . . Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder the
things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth;
will you not be aware of it?' Isaiah 43:18-19
