Or, is HE sending you out into the great unknown?
Some Christians call themselves followers, disciples or apostles. Others call themselves
missionaries, emissaries, or ambassadors. Still others refer to themselves as just plain
messengers. No matter how you refer to yourself, the bottom line is that we are called to go
out and be witnesses for Him throughout the world.
So, where is God leading you? Can you look out your window, and see people walking by on
the sidewalk, or do you have to drive several miles just to see your nearest neighbor? No
matter where you are ~ in whatever capacity is your walk with God ~ He will have someone
there that you need to speak to, encourage, or help in some way. There will someone that the
Holy Spirit is wooing, and you are given the honor of being a part of it. He uses what is
unknown to us to build our faith.
God will work with your personality; He will not ask you to do something that you are not
equipped to do. But, He will keep expanding our envelope, and putting us outside our comfort
zone. That’s one way we can know something is from God-if it makes us uncomfortable. If
we stay within that safety zone of comfort, we cannot grow, and if we cannot grow, then we
are essentially unteachable. If we are unteachable, then God can’t use us.
So look around your small town, your city block, or your country lane, and see where God is
sending you. It might be outside of your comfort zone. If it is, then go with confidence that
the situation will be used to help you grow and mature,so as to broaden your horizons and
prepare you for the journey ahead.
