Dare You To Move

As listening to various songs on youtube I decided to listen to some Switchfoot.  I listened to a couple songs of theirs, but one particular stuck out to me, Dare You To Move.  It's actually a song the lead singer wrote about his new born son to get off the floor and start crawling, but the message about getting up out of a comfort zone, even taking "baby-steps," is the same for everybody no matter how old you are, and that got me thinking.

The majority of us like to live within our comfort zone, because we feel safe and secure.  However, if we are going to fulfill the purpose that G-d has for us, we are going to have to take that first step out of the boat like Peter did when Yeshua called him out onto the water.  

When we look at the circumstances around us it almost seems impossible but just like a baby, the first step is all it takes to motivate us.  Most of the time we sit inside our safe spot, we try to  think of all these reasons why we could not possibly step outside but really there is none.

It all starts when you take the first step or leap of faith out of your comfort zone.  The road will not be easy, but G-d has promised to walk with us, even when we fall, every step of the way.  Do not be satisfied with sitting and watching life just pass you by.  You need to get up, take that step out, and get going on your own walk.  G-d has plans for you, don't just sit there and let them go by.
