What if I fail, what if its not gonna work out, what if it backfires, what if I get rejected, what if, what if....
These are the kind of questions that run through our minds before taking a bold step forward. The fear of the unknown has prevailed over us so much that we often lack the boldness and courage to become our very best.
I think of how many goals I've not achieved, places I've not gone and things I've not done because of this enemy called fear, and it saddens me a lot.
The bible clearly states that ''God did not give us the spirit of fear, but of power love and sound mind.'' in 2Tim 1:7 because God knew very well that we will go through, challenges, trials, temptations and all... but the assurance He gives us in John 13:33b ''but be of good cheer because I have overcome the world'' outweighs the fear that comes knocking on our goals, dreams, calling and purpose.
He has assured us that He is with us and will never leave us (Deut 31:6), that their is no temptation that comes our way which we cannot overcome (1st Cor 10:13), that He is going to provide for all our needs according to His riches in glory and that we are more than conquerors through Him who strengthens us.
So anytime you feel like giving up, anytime you feel like you cannot make it, anytime you feel inferior or very sinful, remember Romans 8:15 ''For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” and Be confident knowing that He that began a good work in you will carry it to completion (Phil 1:6)
He is not done with you yet, He is your Father, Friend and God who is preparing you for something bigger, better and greater.
Trust Him, Live for Him, Take that bold step and do your part as you leave the rest to Him.
He'll handle it coz Hez got it all figured out.
Be courageous.
