It takes a concious effort to step outside our comfort box. We tend to want to serve God on our terms, within our defined area of comfort. The Word of God tells us to expand the space of our tent, to stretch our the curtains of our tent. Having faith rooted deeply in Jesus Christ will allow each of us to expand to serve the Lord outside our comfort zone. It's easier sometimes to sit back and think, someone else will take care of the problem. Have we gone in prayer to God and ask if He could use us to be part of the solution? Or do we just place on our blinders to avoid the possibility that God would answer and direct us to expand beyond the place we are today.
Isaiah 54:2 (GW)
2 Expand the space of your tent. Stretch out the curtains of your tent, and don't hold back. Lengthen your tent ropes, and drive in the tent pegs.
We need to have greater trust in Jesus Christ if we are to expand from the box we are in today. How can we serve God where we are and also where we may be needed? How do we get past our own needs? How do we become less about ourselves and more about Him? The following Scripture has the answer.
John 3:30 (GW)
30 He must increase in importance, while I must decrease in importance.
Blessings to you today,
