Discussion:
How can we practically sacrifice comfort in order to do God’s will?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You because there is something bigger than my life. I have a greater mission in life. You have a purpose for my life. You have a mission for me to fulfill. Please, Lord, reveal Your plan to me. Give me direction. Tell me what to do and grant me the courage and strength to obey. Sometimes it is hard to follow Your instructions. So, Lord, grant me the commitment to follow You even to the point of setting aside my personal comfort just to obey You. Just like Noah, may I find favor in Your eyes. May my life be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name, amen!
