Although Jesus set far-reaching goals for His first disciples, it took persecution and God-inspired vision to prompt them to move beyond their comfort zones. We, too, need to beware of becoming overly comfortable with leading where we are, with the people we know, using familiar methods to seek familiar goals. God is passionately seeking to find the lost, transform lives, and make Himself known in the world. Where is God calling you to look beyond your present circumstances and glimpse new horizons of leadership?
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”—Acts 1:8
Prayer: Spirit, open our hearts and minds to Your prompting. Unsettle us where we need to become unstuck. Show us Your ways and give us glimpses of new horizons in ministry and leadership. May we increasingly trust You as You lead us forward, in Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
