God's Zone

Have you ever wondered what your life could hold? Or what potential you have?

I’m sure everyone has faced or will face this question sometime in their life.

“What are you gonna do when you’re out of school?”

If you thought this question is obnoxious as you’re going through high school, it’ll only get worse as you approach graduation.

Many people have asked me this question, and I always struggle to answer. Because, the truth is, I don’t know. Yes, I have ideas of what God may have in store for my future but nothing definite for now. Some people may scoff and say, “So what are you gonna do about it?” Do about it? I don’t need to do anything other than wait on God’s timing. No, I’m not gonna get lazy and sit around as I wait, but my ultimate passion is to follow God. I want to hear when He calls so I’ll be listening. For now I will serve Him to the best of my ability right where I am. And do you know what? I’m okay with that. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past year, it’s that waiting on God is essential.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives that we forget they ultimately belong to Christ. How can you live for Him when the only time you think about Him is when you see your Bible, laying untouched on your nightstand?

When you have enough courage to step out of your comfort zone and into God’s zone, God will do amazing things with your life. I have learned that it takes a choice to follow His will. He may lead you to a task that looks daunting; but if you are willing, He will give you the courage to succeed. When you succeed, many times He will throw another task your way, maybe an even harder one. When He reveals Himself to you, drop everything and follow Him like the disciples did. Life will not be fulfilling unless it is lived in complete submission to Christ.

“Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” ~ Luke 9:23 (NIV)

When you step out of your comfort zone and into God’s zone, you will be victorious!
