Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone “The Lord had said to Abram, leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” Genesis 12:1 Can you imagine receiving the message above to leave your country, your people, and your household and go to another land? This has taken a considerable amount of faith to go and leave everything that Abram had worked all his life for and go into an unknown place. I am sure this message was difficult for him to follow as doing something that we have never done before is hard for everyone to do. Everything we do is difficult at first. When we were beginning to crawl, it was very difficult. When we took our first step, it was very difficult. When we started to school, it was very difficult. Throughout our lives we have experienced new difficulties that we have faced and overcome. Thousands of people will fail in life because they are not willing to make the changes necessary to go farther. They refuse to change jobs, towns, or change friendships. People want to stay in their comfort zones, and many times become stagnant in their jobs, their communities and in their lives because they cannot change. Yet thousands of others move up the ladder of happiness because they are willing to go through a little discomfort to experience a new level in life. Peter wanted to walk on water, and Jesus saw his excitement, and said “Come”, and he left the boat and began to walk, but then he discovered that he was out of his comfort zone and began to sink. Many times, in order to fulfill the plan that Jesus has for our lives, we have to get out of our comfort zones. I would encourage each of you to move out of your comfort zones, and realize that in order to achieve something you have never had, that you must do something you have never done before.
