Daily Walk Through the New Testament

August 13

Read John 4:27-54

What must you leave in order to achieve God’s best for your life? The woman at the well left her water pot so that she might become a witness to the miracle of God’s life-changing power. She left the very thing God had used as a tool to introduce her to her Savior so she could introduce others to Him. Sometimes we must walk away from the things that have been important to us in order to accomplish what is important to God.
Walking away from something familiar always requires faith. It took great faith for Abraham to leave everything and set out for the land God promised to show him (Hebrews 11:8). You too must step out in faith into unknown territory if you expect to accomplish the great things God has planned for you.
The faith to step out and accomplish something great for God comes from the awareness of the great thing He has already accomplished in you. Step out of your comfort and into His control.
