God’s life plan is frequently uncomfortable.
How often do we resist what God asks of us because it makes us uncomfortable or scares us? The readings today remind us that God often asks His people to go to places they would rather not. Jonah is asked to go to people he finds repulsive. Simon, Andrew, James, and John leave everything to follow Jesus.
What comforts, habits, attitudes or behaviors are you attached to that might be preventing you from following Jesus?
Through what discomforts, disruptions or invitations might God be speaking right now?
Spend some time this week with the uncomfortable, and ask God to show you how you could follow Him out of your comfort zone.
Migrant Mover, you pitched a tent in the desert, walked out to fishing boats, weathered storms, fed crowds without money — and you ask us to follow you. Show us where our attachment to, and comfort with, our lives keeps us from serving you the way you desire. Draw us into your divine movement, going out to seek all who are searching for you. Amen.
