Is the familiar holding you back? Has the comfort of where you are now satisfied you into a state of complacency and false ease? Has fear paralyzed your progress forward?
Unknown. Unfamiliar. These words are areas that we don’t know like the place where we are now. But the plans of our life and the order of our steps were never really ours to begin with (Proverbs 19:21; Psalm 119:133).
I will admit, there are some things where I wish the curtain were opened a little wider so that I can see more of the picture hidden behind. But that is not what faith demands (2 Corinthians 5:7). Faith asks for trust (Proverbs 3:5-6). And faith asks for our obedience to move forward even if we don’t quite know all the steps or how it will turn out in the end.
The familiar is all around you every day. It can snuggle you like that comfy blanket you drape over you when you want to settle down for the evening and have a nice read or watch a favorite show. But settling is not a place to set up shop when you feel God calling you for more.
Do you feel Him calling? If so, seek His face for guidance, ask Him for help, and when He prompts you to, walk forward in faith.
Blessings to you on your journey to break the chains of familiarity.
