If you want to walk on water you have to get out of the boat. – J. Ortberg
James and John left their father Zebedee in the boat mending nets when Jesus called them. They learned to ‘fish’ for men!
We have a natural tendency in life to find our “comfort zone” and then firmly position ourselves there in place, unwilling to move or change regardless of who we encounter. But it’s often in these situations where we miss out on God’s activity. If we are in a situation or lifestyle where we are perfectly capable of handling everything, then we’ve ceased growing in our understanding and dependence on God. God’s assignments generally disrupt our comfortable routines and take us into the realm of the unknown – where we learn to trust him more – because He wants to be known to someone new or in a new way to us. When the uncomfortable comes, why not ask God what’s He up to!
Until tomorrow….
