Faith calls us out of our comfort zone...to learn new skills and minister in new ways

 " Faith calls us out of our comfort zone…to learn new skills and minister in different ways.” But we get uptight. We think, “What if God asks me to do something I can’t do? Or I don’t have the strength, wisdom, or faith?” If you were relying on your own resources, you’d be in trouble. But the fact is, “God…knew you and chose you” (1Pe 1:2 NLT). Every time you meet a new challenge He strengthens you by proving that He not only supplies the tools, but is responsible for the outcome."

Bob Gass Daily Devotion: 

"The Bible tells us that we are not to store up treasure on earth but that we are to secure our treasure in heaven (see Matthew 6:19-20). So many times we can get caught up in what we think God forbids us to  have, seeing God as some kind of cosmic killjoy who wants us to go without, when the reality is that He desire for us to prioritize our lives in sch a way that we may have eternal significance."
