Are You in Over Your Head?

Have you been feeling “in over your head” lately? Do you ever question if you’re making the right moves? Sometimes I don’t know whether I am half way out of my mind or just full of audacious faith. But, if you ask me, the two may actually be one in the same.

I was thinking about the phrase: “in over your head” the other day when it hit me. When it comes to living a life of courage and daring to get out of your comfort zone, if you don’t feel in over your head, you’re not dreaming big enough.
 

The Word says in Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV): "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
 

Aha! There is! God’s ways are higher! They are incomprehensible to you and me as we’re walking through, but ohhhhh the joy waiting at the finish line.

If you’re feeling in over your head today, I encourage you to keep going. The greatness, the destiny, the breakthroughs that are coming when you dig deep and endure will make every stressful season and intimidating obstacle worthwhile. You’ll be thanking God for the struggles and the setbacks that were only setups in the end.

If you’re not feeling in over your head, maybe it’s time to get a little uncomfortable. What dreams have you been putting on hold that you need to activate today? What gifts and talents have you been hiding that God wants to shine light on for His glory?

My friend, we live one life. Why not live one that makes it worthwhile? It's time to dive in and “get in over your head.”
