This is a sermon by Pastor Steven Furtick titled “Growing Pains” where he asked ‘what if God is using your discomfort to drive you closer to your destiny?”
In this message, he said there is a sense in which all of us could be a little bit more content. No matter our battles, we have a lot of blessings. Paul said, “I’ve learned the secret of being content in any and every circumstance, whether I have a little or a lot. I’ve learned how to be content,” yet the same guy who said that also said, “I press toward the mark for the prize.”
He said he is trying to discern the balance between contentment and complacency. He reminded us about the Children of Israel saying that as their blessing was breaking out, their world was closing in. God will often use discomfort to move you into your destiny.  It’s possible that the people of Joseph were not griping as much as they were  growing. This shoe doesn’t fit anymore. As one church growth expert said,  “The shoe should never tell the foot how big it can get.”
Where you started is not where you want to stay. Perhaps you have outgrown yesterday’s blessing. Â You come to a point
sometimes where what was handed down to you can’t hold you anymore, and it’s time to believe God for something more.
