Get out of Your Box

I met a guy on a World Changers Mission trip several years ago in Atlanta, Georgia who was constantly telling his students to get out of their box during a roof project we were working on. Everything was about getting out of their comfort zones. He even told me to get out of my box on several occasions.

This past weekend we hosted 3 bands for a local concert for students around the area. Up until this weekend I have always been blessed to have someone run sound for Wednesday nights or any activity we had. So I have never bothered to learn it. Well we ended up with no sound guy for the concert. PANIC!! No one in the bands really knew how to run sound either so it was up to me. I pushed every button on the sound board and turned every knob and finally got things to work. I ended up running sound for Among Thirsty who is an upcoming band who will be playing with Toby Mac this summer. It ended up being really cool.

All this to say, it is so important to get out of our boxes. So many of us are so sheltered and afraid of doing anything different for God and because of that we miss out on all that God has in store for us. So whether it's witnessing to a friend, sharing a testimony in front of a group, going on a mission trip, taking a leap of faith into leaving your job and going into full-time ministry, or serving overseas as a missionary, we all need to be willing to risk getting out of our box for the Lord.
