Pursuing your calling is an amazing journey but it isn’t always easy. Along the way, God has to refine you as you become the person He needs you to be to do the things He wants you to do.
In the online space, you hear a lot to “Only do what makes you happy” or “You don’t have to put up with stress” but God does things a little differently.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about why discomfort is actually really important in accomplishing what God has in store for you (and no, it’s not a “harder is holier” message).
You will have joy and peace beyond all understanding, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be things that are hard. It might be scary to do what God is asking you to do. Each step brings up all sorts of uncomfortable emotions. In that moment, you have a decision to pivot or meet that discomfort head-on.
If we let the emotions lead us and always choose the comfortable, then we’ll never come out on the other side changed and better for it (See James 1:2-4)
When there’s discomfort, this often represents an underlying lie that we are believing. The discomfort can show itself as anger, frustration, worry, etc. But really, if you look deeper, you might find that worry is there because you aren’t truly trusting in God to provide, protect and lead you.
When you face the discomfort and go deeper, you can see what God is wanting to uncover in you so He can help you see it in a new light by applying His word and His truth to it so you can be free from its grip on you.
This is how you get a breakthrough.
This is when God shows you the thing that’s been holding you back and now you’re able to move forward empowered with the Truth instead of operating in a lie.
And now you’re able to move forward in your calling.
This is a key part of your journey with God as you step into your calling.
I hope this encourages you this week.
