A man who has lived in many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native village; the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and microphone of his own age. – From “Learning in War Time”
Comfort Zone
David Platt
R. T. Kendall
What is outside your comfort zone today maybe at the very centre of your comfort zone tomorrow. This is because once you open become used to the scariness of your new place, being outside your comfort zone begins to seem like home. Before long, you may have to move yet again and go to the unknown, like Abraham went out but did not know where he was going.
Charles Stanley
Our Father may ask us to do something that seems illogical—perhaps to accept more responsibility when we were hoping to reduce our workload, to leave a position that He provided just recently, or to take on an assignment for which we feel ill-equipped. His plan might feel unrealistic in view of our age, stage of life, or health concerns. We must press forward in obedience, regardless of how impractical the request may appear.
David Jeremiah
When God opens a door, it is often an exit from our comfort zone. We have no way of knowing where it will lead or what lies beyond—but we do know that we can trust the One who opened the door. So we can step through it with a sense of expectation, knowing that something incredible lies ahead.
Bill Johnson
My comfort must never take precedence over doing anything that brings God glory. We must take risks to see God fully glorified.
