MOVE OUT
For quite a few years I have tried to learn a new verse a month. One of my verses is Deuteronomy 2:3 (ESV),
“Then the Lord said to me, you have been traveling around this mountain country long enough. Turn northward.”
Lord, make it clear to me when it’s time to move on, move up, move out!
To something stretching
To something new, challenging, different
To something out of my comfort zone
To something I’ve been afraid to try
To something I know you’ve asked me to do, but on which I have procrastinated
To something that will cost me
To something that has great potential for failure, but also great potential for success
To something requiring more faith, more trust
Lord, help me be willing to move to something a little higher, a little harder, a little more honoring to YOU
Help me Father, to let go of the familiar, the comfortable, the easy!
All this as I’m led by You, empowered by You and seek to bring glory to YOU!
