John 13:17-“If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do these them.”
Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today
COMFORT ZONE
My ardor is keen for Jesus. I enjoy my moments with Him.
I find pleasure basking in His Presence
But it is easier to float than to swim.
God says, “Consider much deeper waters. Learning to swim is a joy.
Launch out beyond your safe harbor.
Deeper waters offer God’s treasures to employ.
Launch out. Hold on. Walk on water. Whatever God asks you, do.
Perhaps your life’s destiny and fulfillment
Will be unfurled by God’s timing for you!
Launch out. Move away from comfort. Launch out into joys unknown.
Launch out from your comfortable moorings
The Holy Spirit uproots lifestyles set in stone.
Happiness is launched by investment. Investment is serving the Lord.
Launch out with a teachable spirit.
The Holy Spirit carries equipment on board.
If you know what you should do, then do it. If you know where you should be, then go.
To find ultimate happiness in Jesus
Stop floating and watch God’s wisdom flow.
God welcomes obedient Pilgrims. Bravely launch new ventures with Him.
God promises His joy beyond measure
But a happy Pilgrim must plunge in to swim!

Dear Lord, Thank you for the joy that comes from serving You. Keep me alert enough to obey Your Call to launch out. Help me trust and obey daily. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.
