What To Do When Stretched Out Of Your Comfort Zone.

Exo. 3:11 - But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?"

God has informed Moses He has chosen him to lead the children of Israel out of the Egyptian bondage. Moses is stretched out of his comfort zone with God's plan.
​

• When Does Being Stretched Out Of Your Comfort Zone Begin?

Your stretching will begin when you doubt your abilities to accomplish the task that is before you.

Moses doubts that he was the one who could be used to help free the Israelites. He says to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh?"  Moses doesn't realize it yet, but he is the one who God has chosen and there isn't any way God will change His plan.

We probably all have been chosen by God to accomplish a task and we thought like Moses, "Who am I?"

If God chooses you, God will help you to complete the task.

• How Does One Stop The Stretching?

If you're being stretched out of your comfort zone try these.

          1. Stop Doubting Yourself.

The way to accomplish this is by feeding your mind positive thoughts.

You need to realize that you have been chosen by someone to complete this task. God, your boss, your close friend, your spouse or one of your children may have chosen you.
 
The exciting thing is you have been chosen.

You want to see this as an opportunity to achieve a project that you haven't done before.
 
         2. Start Preparing Yourself.

What can you do to prepare yourself to fulfill this project?

Are there any books you can read, is there a website you can visit, or a YouTube to watch? Do you know someone who has done this  type of job before that you can contact for some assistance?

• My Construction Days

I was working construction with the Boilermakers back in the 1970's. I was asked by a foreman, "Can you weld?" I replied, "No." I never liked giving him that answer. I needed to find someone who would be willing to teach me to weld. I was working with a crew and in this crew was a welder by the name of Jack McAvoy.

One evening while we were working I asked him, "If he would teach me how to weld?"
 
I grabbed a welder's hood and within a couple of hours, he had me welding. I continued to practice every day and on the next job site, I took the welder's test and passed.

I was now a certified welder, thanks to Jack McAvoy.

Find someone you can associate with who can teach you what it is you're trying to learn.

Obtaining knowledge will help you in times when you're being stretched to accomplish a feat for which you don't feel qualified.

Think on These:

You must first be a believer if you would be an achiever.

Today's preparation determines tomorrow's achievement.
