Leave Your Comfort Zone

(Genesis 12:1 KJV) Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:


There is a land of milk and honey God has prepared for you. However, you must be willing to leave your present place of convenience before you can get to this land.

Abraham had to leave the land he was accustomed to before God could establish the everlasting covenant with him. He had to leave everything behind in order to connect to the great promise God gave to him.

In order to lay hold on the greatness that God has for you in the future you might need to forgo the comfort you are used to. Greatness does not come cheaply. There is always a price to pay.

Do not allow a brief season of sacrifice to stop you from a lifetime of excellence. Pay the price today. Be willing to do whatever it will take for you to live out your dream.

Excellence is beckoning; are you willing to pay the price? It is your turn to excel beyond your wildest imagination. You cannot afford to slack. Pay the price, and contribute your own quota of excellence to your world.

DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 20
