Remember, you and I each have a significant big-picture call on our lives, one that God appointed to us before we were born. And a central part of that appointed purpose is the daily call of surrender and obedience. Courageous and called women invite God to divinely interrupt our day so that we can participate in His everyday miracles. Our life purpose is to be used for His kingdom purposes.

Sometimes we get to see the significant role we play in God’s story. Because we dared to step out and engage in a need, someone gets saved, or healed, or restored in some way. Maybe we have the privilege of partnering with God to deliver groceries to a family in need, or to pray with someone whose marriage is in trouble and we see God miraculously restore their marriage. Those are the times that remind us how important our obedience is in the whole scheme of things.

But other times we don’t get to see the fruit of our actions. Sometimes it needs to be enough to simply respond to the inner nudge, to obey His voice, and to trust that we’ll see the impact of our faith steps when we see Jesus face-to-face. Every faith step matters to God. Read this powerful passage from 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12:

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. (NLT)

A living, breathing, active faith—that’s our birthright and call in Christ Jesus.

And while we’re called to continually look for God in the everydayness of our lives, we’re also called to a life of faith that involves occasional adventures that take us beyond the known zone. Though our comforts bring us comfort, our call leads us beyond them on a regular basis. The second circle in the diagram represents the learning zone:
