Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone

 
Just recently I started trying new foods. I don't care for peas too much, but I'm liking green beans. Trying new things can be scary sometimes. It's easy to stay in our comfort zone, but when we refuse to do things that are a little scary, we can't grow. God calls us to step out of our comfort zone and walk by faith. The Bible talks about many people who walked by faith, but one that comes to mind is Noah. In Genesis 7 the Bible tells us that God asked Noah to build an ark for his family, because God was going to send a flood that would destroy the earth. I'm sure Noah felt way out of his comfort zone when he was building a boat for a flood no one believed was coming. He probably felt pretty silly at times. God calls us to do things that we may not feel comfortable doing, but blessings come when we obey him. I may not like eating baby food, but I have to learn to eat it or I will never grow big and strong. I can't survive off of my mommy's milk forever. The journey God calls us on might be scary, but God's plans are always the best plans. So step out of that comfort zone and try something new!
