Mary journeyed to Bethlehem, heavily pregnant and enduring a difficult path. It was uncomfortable and challenging. But God had placed a calling on her life. In the same way, God often calls us to step out in obedience, even when it feels uncertain or inconvenient. The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, interceding on our behalf when we’re unsure of what to pray or how to move forward. With Christmas only a few days away, is God asking you to step into any places of uncomfortable obedience?
