Daily Thoughts about God Posts

By Vonette Bright

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10: 14-15

Are you ready for God to push you past your comfort zone?

Lucy didn’t think she was ready.  She was comfortable with the ladies in her church…  And the ones who attended the home Bible study.  Lucy had surrounded herself with other Christians.

So, when she was invited to join a company bowling team, she just didn’t feel comfortable.  Yes, Lucy enjoyed team sports.  And she worked with these people and knew they needed Jesus.

So once Lucy prayed, she realized God wanted to use her.  And not long afterwards, her co-workers began to see God’s love mirrored in Lucy’s life on and off the job.  She even had the opportunity to pray with some of them.

Oh, dear one, God may be calling you out of your comfort zone.
Maybe it’s time!  Be ready to answer the call.

Some seasons of life are more hectic than others.  It isn’t always possible to keep on top of all the things we usually tend to. When life gets a little too busy it’s easy to neglect small things.  At first no one notices the little things left undone in the house or yard or the growing pile of papers that need tending to. Yet, as the weeds take hold outside and the paperwork and the closets are ignored inside, a growing chaos becomes evident.

The same thing happens in our inner lives when we neglect the regular care of our spirits. We begin to feel the growing chaos within. The reality of our lives becomes contrasted against the promises of our faith. We become discouraged in our spiritual journey.

God’s Word reminds us to be careful about what we ignore. In the book of Hebrews we are given reminders not to ignore the great salvation God has provided for us.

Do you think we can risk neglecting this magnificent salvation?Hebrews 2:1-4 (The Message)

It’s so easy to be caught up with the busy things of life that we overlook tending our inner lives. Then we often find chaos in our heart and mind and wonder why God seems distant. During those times we will most likely find our Bible starting to gather dust. God’s Word is nourishment for our souls.

If your life is chaotic and your spirit is dry… if panic is becoming more often present in your heart and mind than peace… check what you are neglecting. Make a beeline back to God’s Word and to fellowship with His people.

Make a fresh determination and declare the words that David declared so long ago in Psalm 119:16.

“I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word.” (Psalm 119:16)

Keep God’s Word at the very core of your life. As a Christian you simply cannot risk living otherwise.
