I was just doing my reading in the bible tonight, and I was reading Matthew 1:18-25 and it talks about how the angel of the Lord told Joseph to still take Mary as his wife though she was pregnant.
Now you need to understand in that time, if a woman became pregnant before marriage, she could be stoned to death and possibly so could the man that married her. Joseph didn't understand why she was pregnant and how, all he knew was she was going to have a baby and their lives were at stake. But the angle said to go ahead, they would be protected because she was caring Jesus - the savior of the world.
As I read this , God showed me that no matter how frighting something may be, like a new venture in your career or witnessing with someone , you need to have faith in God to do as you are asked by Him and step out there. We are Gods tools to reach those who are hurting and alone. Those that are afraid of what may come in these hard times. Even though speaking to the lost can be out of your comfort zone you must tell them or that person will never hear the message God has for them. You might be the only one who could reach through that wall they have up and pull them out of the darkness they live in.
So come on Church, Lets step out of our comfort zone we have lived in for so long and reach the out to the world
