“Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness.”2 Peter 1:3 TPT
A Dense Maze
Life feels like a maze of density and very unclear at times. We can feel stuck in the “cattails of life” and very alone and isolated without any real clarity or fresh revelation. Nothing new under the sun. We tend to self-isolate because we are afraid of the new and what it will cost us, afraid of leaving our comfort zone. But God has already deposited in our heart exactly what we need for each day. Will we make a withdrawal of His divine power or will we keep pressing forward by our will power which is temporary in nature and can’t anchor us in the storms of this life like God’s divine power can.

Restless Soul
Are you not sure what the next life season will look like, yet you are very sure that it is going to change? Do you feel restless before God changes things up? I do. I don’t like change; I tend to resist change. This is a part of the human condition, the way we are shaped, in our natural, we sometimes are not open to change, yet the super force of God, pushes us up to the crossroad of the transformation that we need. When we are restless, it is not a good time to buck up our will against God’s navigation by His Holy Spirit. It is always a good ending when we open our hearts wide to God, yielding our way and following Him even if we don’t understand His way.
Free Will
The choice is ours; God never breaches our will; He wants us to have the free choice He gifted us with. But He will not give up, He will keep asking. God wants to do something new in our lives, so we grow through, spiritually mature and don’t stay stagnant. He wants to navigate us lovingly into new life seasons, yet we resist Him, we stay focused on what we can see, and our lack of faith traps us in the same old same old. In order to change things up in us, God will make us choose, He will bring us to a crossroad. Listen up to this 1 Minute Encouragement Video:
Something New
“Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who (Ps. 23:4) walks in darkness and has no light? (2 Chr. 20:20) Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God. 11 Look, all you who kindle a fire, who encircle yourselves with sparks: walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled— (John 9:39) This you shall have from My hand: You shall lie down (Ps. 16:4) in torment. Isaiah 50:10-11 NKJV
Kindling Fires
We keep trying to do things our way and then we find ourselves in a dead end. Isn’t it time to shake off the old reliable ways, and step out of our comfort zone into the Bright SONshine of a new great God adventure? Be strong and courageous and go with God, as He is doing something new, and no doubt about it, this change He is ushering forth in our lives, He is the common denominator in it. Purposefully so, God has a transition for us, into the new that He has for us. Will we respect God’s way, trust Him and rely upon Him? Or will we continue to kindle our own fires, walking by the light of a man-made fire which will eventually flame out? Do we want to finish this life strong? Listen Up:
A God Remix
If we are constantly caving into our need for comfort in a culture that truly will not afford it to us, then our faith will not grow. Why is it we do that? We quit; we don’t patiently endure through hard times. When things get challenging, we do whatever it takes to stay in our comfort zone, instead of stretching our faith and purposefully growing through, we give in, because we don’t want to feel uncomfortable, or out of control, we want to regulate everything in our lives, and we don’t want God messing with our planned schedule. When the world rocks out of control, could it be God’s Remix, shaking up our comfort zone, purposefully adding challenges to stretch our faith and grow us up?

Are You Stepping Out
Will we know it? (Read Isaiah 43 https://my.bible.com/bible/97/ISA.43.MSG) Will we let go, step out of our established comfort zone and let God lead us into the new thing He has for us? The amazing thing is how God has pursued us and is asking us to step out of our comfort zone and move into the deep with Him. Thus and Therefore, We don’t step out alone, God has gone before us, He is right in front of us, clearing the path, and all we have to do is look up and follow after Him. Follow the Son. Easy-Peasy!
