There will be times in life that the things we feel led to do won’t be easy for us to do. It directly goes against our flesh.

We may even have to follow with a hurting heart. Maybe he is telling you to do something and it seems like to go the other way will allow you to find temporary relief and comfort. But he knows that is only going to lead you down a winding road like you were on before and lead you right back to where you are.

He wants you to move forward for good, not stay stagnant in this place forever. But to move forward requires a move in directions you haven’t gone before, places that will change you on the inside as you walk.

We don’t serve our feelings, our hurts, our discomfort or our fears. We are serving someone much better than those fleeting things.

If he is showing you to do something that means he knows the answer to what you need and he is giving you the solution step by step. The sooner you obey, the next step will be revealed which will also require obedience.

It’s okay to stop for a minute and pray that God would help you to follow him and that he would take the discomfort pain and hurt from your heart. Pray that he will help you feel at peace as you walk along the roads that you were meant to conquer. Following him in the long run will pay off, but for right now its a little uncomfortable.
