Responding to Gods Leading
May 8, 2018
At once they left their nets and followed him.
Matthew 4:20
In August 2015, when I was preparing to attend a university a couple of hours from home, I realized I probably wouldnt move back home after graduation. My mind raced. How can I leave home? My family? My church? What if God later calls me to another state or country?
Like Moses, when God told him to go to Pharaoh to bring [His] people the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus 3:10), I was afraid. I didnt want to leave my comfort zone. Yes, Moses obeyed and followed God, but not before questioning Him and requesting that someone else go instead (vv. 1113; 4:13).
In Mosess example, we can see what we shouldnt do when we sense a clear calling. We can instead strive to be more like the disciples. When Jesus called them, they left everything and followed Him (Matthew 4:2022; Luke 5:28). Fear is natural, but we can trust Gods plan.
Being so far from home is still difficult. But as I continually seek God, He opens doors for me that confirm I am where Im supposed to be.
When we are led out of our comfort zone, we can either go reluctantly, like Moses, or willingly like the discipleswho followed Jesus wherever He led them. Sometimes this means leaving our comfortable life hundreds or even thousands of miles behind us. But no matter how difficult it may be, following Jesus is worth it.
Lord, help me to follow You wherever You lead.
We are not called to be comfortable.
Do events from our past make it hard to go forward? The first time Moses tried to stand up for his people, he ended up killing an Egyptian slave master and had to run for his life (Exodus 2:1115). That moment may have prepared him for what he was about to experience. Hed seen how badly he had messed up on his own. Now he was about to see what God could do.
What about us? Have we tripped over ourselves enough, even in trying to help others, that were ready to see what God can do through us as we respond to His lead?

I think Ft. Leavenworth will be a great place for Comey, McCabe, Jarrett et al to visit for an extended stay.
