Stepping Out

Anytime you really want to do something for God, it will require you stepping out what you think you are able to do (I hate the term "comfort zone"). I'm reading a great book by John Ortberg titled "If You Want To Walk On Water, You've Got To Get Out Of the Boat." Sometimes we don't pray in faith, because we're afraid God won't honor His Word. Sometimes we don't try something because it is not something we've ever done, or it seems so crazy that God couldn't possibly have asked us to do that. If we were able to "do" the ministry ourselves, then why would we need God anyway? He want our total reliance on Him - and that will make your ministry a success.
