Believe he is in your boat

Sometimes we go through so much that we wonder why God seems far removed from our situations. Our problems often make us forget his ability and presence. God want us to trust in him no matter what we go through.
Mark 4:38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”

Sometimes a place of comfort can lead to stagnation.

There are times we have to leave our familiar territories to achieve greatness. Genesis 12:1-2 The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.
