Doesn't Life feel boring living a predictable life, doing the regular things daily?
So many of us live predictable lives. Wake up in the morning, go to work or our our business places, come back home, shower, have dinner, watch TV and then of to bed. We see life and all that comes with it as normal.
We feel so relaxed in our comfort zones that we find it so difficult stepping out into the unknown, taking risks and daring new things in life but we all have been called into an adventurous life. Our life is an adventure. Even the difficulties and the challenges we go through in life, lead us to an adventurous life if we do not give in to these challenges.
We've all had to pray to God about certain things in life or have had to ask God not let us go through certain things in life but we end up seeing ourselves in those things we prayed against to God. Like Job said "The thing I greatly feared has happened to me." and the question would be, why would God allow a man described as righteous or blameless go through such a awful experience in life. A man who had everything going well for him. One who was greatly admired by all in his days. The answer is simply that God took him out of his comfort zone and made him go through an adventurous life. A life he probably never experienced or had a taste of.
God called Job into a life of perseverance, resilience, faithfulness, loyalty and trust in the midst of great trials. His character was tested, proven and established in the process.
When ever the unexpected occurs, when disaster strikes, when we go through painful experiences and when what we prayed for is yet to be answered, life takes us through an adventure, moving us out of the comfort zone and the beauty of this life is how we go through this journey with a new perspective and a positive mindset.
God also calls us into the unknown by assigning to our lives a purpose to live here on earth which involves taking risks, other times it's the dreams and goals we have set for ourselves to achieve that also becomes an adventure for us.
Not giving in or giving up on your goals despite life's difficulties or the challenges that we go through trying to realize our dreams makes us live a life of an adventure and this is what makes life exciting, fulfilling, fruitful and satisfying.
Job's life and story is one of inspiration and motivation for generations past, present and future that though a life of an adventure may not be easy but it is worth going through and fulfilling.
You see? when you tell your story of an adventurous life - facing and overcoming fears, being resilient, perseverant and persistent in the face of challenges. You inspire not just your generation but the next generation that life can be beautiful and fulfilling living a life of an adventure.
Most great people or great stories we read and hear about today are people who lived adventurous life pursuing and realizing their goals as well as living a purposeful life.
The thrill of of life is living an adventitious life style. Step out of your comfort zone and move into the life of an adventure that God designed you to live and be.
