Today’s Word

It’s easy to get comfortable in life with things that are less than God’s best. We know there’s more in us, but we don’t want to have to stretch or take the risk that it might not work out. We can get comfortable with friends who are pulling us down, with addictions, with self-pity. The problem with staying comfortable is that you will miss your destiny. When God is about to take you higher, you always have to make the choice: comfort or calling? Are you going to stay in the comfort zone, or are you going to step out in faith and take a risk? 

Perhaps you need to work on a relationship, you need to forgive, you need to stretch, but you’re letting fear and what people will think and how it seems too hard keep you in your comfort. God is saying, “If you do what I’m asking you to do, I’ll step in and give you supernatural strength and boldness to overcome obstacles and rise higher in your calling.” 

Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for always calling me higher and to lay aside everything that keeps me from being my best. Help me to confront the areas where I need to step out in faith and see change. I believe that with Your help that I can overcome and be victorious. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
