Do you have a daily routine? Most of us do. We do many of the same things everyday without even thinking about them. Sometimes that is good. A lot of things just come naturally – brushing our teeth, putting on our clothes and even driving a car. There are just some things that we like to do the same way we have always done them.
But in some cases what we have made "routine" have really become ruts! We can keep doing things "the same ole' way" and never take the time to stop and listen to God's voice. And if we don't listen, we will miss out on His best plan for us. We believe that the Lord has new and exciting directions for your life, directions that he wants to take you in today. If He does, are you listening?
Maybe He's telling you it's time to cultivate better relationships. Perhaps He has a different career path or job opportunity for you. Maybe the Lord is just encouraging you to develop a positive attitude or healthier habits.
Is God asking you to step out of your comfort zone? Are you willing to break your routine? Be bold and be willing to do something out of your usual routine that honors God in a greater way. When you take the initiative and move from your "safe zone" to your "faith zone," that is when God will move on your behalf and begin to do greater things in your life. He will bless you in uncommon ways and you will experience an extraordinary life filled with hope, purpose, and victory.
A Prayer for Today
God, it's time for me to be still and listen. As I spend time in prayer and in the Word, speak to me, O Lord. Tell me what I need to hear and give me the courage to make the desires and dreams of my heart come to pass. In Jesus' name, Amen.
