THE MAIN THEME: WHEN DO I GET THERE?

TITLE: THE DANGERS OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Devotional:

The comfort zone is a familiar and safe space where we often feel at ease. However, it can also be a dangerous place that limits our growth and potential. When we become too comfortable, we may find ourselves stagnating, missing out on opportunities for development and deeper fulfillment.

God has plans for us that extend beyond our comfort zones. These plans may involve challenges and risks, but they are designed to help us grow, learn, and flourish. Stepping outside our comfort zone can be daunting, yet it is often in these moments of discomfort that we discover our true strengths and capabilities.

While it may be tempting to stay within the confines of what is comfortable, we are called to embrace the unknown and trust in God's guidance. Growth occurs when we challenge ourselves, take risks, and explore new paths. 

Let me close with these quotes:

“All progress take place outside the comfort zone” - Anonymous

“In the absence of a challenge, there is comfort. In the presence of comfort, there is no change.” — Matt LeMond

These quotes reveal that staying in our comfort zones will result in no progress or change. This further jeopardizes our main theme: ‘When do we get there’

Here are a few reflective questions:

• Am I in my comfort zone?
• In what areas of my life do I feel stuck in my comfort zone?
• What fears or beliefs are holding me back from stepping outside my comfort zone?
• What opportunities have I missed by remaining too comfortable?

Let Us Pray:
Dear Lord, Thank You for the plans You have for my life. Help me to recognize the dangers of staying in my comfort zone and to find the courage to step outside of it. May I be open to the growth and experiences that await me as I venture beyond what is familiar.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• God knows when I will get there
• I am willing to step outside my comfort zone for growth.
• I embrace discomfort as a pathway to new experiences.
• I trust in God’s plan for my future and take steps toward it.

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
