Step Out of Your Comfort Zone - The Wise Women of Tekoa 

Lord, please give me wisdom as I approach your Word. 

Observe When we consider our God-given dreams, our natural courage and strength are often quickly replaced with fear. But God never leaves us after giving us a dream. He always equips us with everything we need to accomplish his will. 

God often asks us to do things we’re unqualified for and unprepared to do. Pursuing God’s calling typically stretches our faith and can be downright uncomfortable. Fear can usher in doubt and keep us from moving forward. But we don’t have to embrace our fears. God is ready to help—if we will simply say yes, embrace his courage, and take the first step. 

King David missed his son Absalom terribly but was unwilling to forgive him. So David’s commander, Joab, devised a plan and called on a wise woman from Tekoa to help him execute it. When the woman approached David, she recited her story and revealed her true intention. As a result of her faith and her willingness to step courageously outside her comfort zone, David agreed to bring Absalom home, and the two were reunited. 

Courageously step out of your comfort zone by asking yourself the following questions. 

1. What hopes and dreams has God placed on my heart? 

2. What gifts and talents has God given me? 

3. What steps can I take to pursue God’s calling?

4. Who can I call who will encourage and support me as I step outside my comfort zone? 

Interpret God blesses us and restores our lives when we step out of our comfort zone and pursue his calling. 

Apply What is God encouraging you to do today? Determine your first step, embrace your God-given courage, and take action. 

Father, reveal to me the plans and purposes you have for my life. Help me know what to do to pursue your will and give me supernatural courage to take the first step.
