Into the 'Pleasant Land'

"The people refused to enter the pleasant land,
  for they wouldn't believe his promise to care for them.
Instead, they grumbled in their tents
  and refused to obey the LORD."
Psalm 106:24-25

In my morning devotion, I was reminded that sometimes we have to step outside our comfort zone to receive the 'pleasant land' God promises.  That requires our total and complete trust in Him.  It requires our letting go of our own fears and shortcomings.  It requires us to step out - sometimes leap out - in faith.

Instead of grumbling about what we can't do, why we can't do it, and the obstacles that prevent us from doing it - let's just do it!  Obey Him, then watch Him work as you follow through in obedience!

Otherwise, we could be missing out on the biggest blessings in our lives!  When it boils down to it, often the only thing that is holding us back from His blessings is most often ourselves!

So take that giant step of faith and be blessed!
