Pushing Fear Out of the Way


Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

 
Many of us are gripped by fear.  This trick of satan has kept some of us from pursuing God-given dreams, opportunities and even relationships.  We shrink away, procrastinate or simply tremble at the thought of certain things.  Is there any fear lurking in your heart today?  Is there anything God is calling you to do, but because of fear you have turned your head or drowned out your Savior’s voice?  Our Father commands us to be strong and courageous.  We can look at our fear in the face with confidence, knowing that God is with us. Rejection, failure, hardships have no control over us because God is on our side.  What He has ordained for us, it is for us, therefore we can be like the Proverbs woman and  “. . .smile at the future. “ (Proverbs 31:25)  Ask God to reveal to you any fears you may have today.  Look at your fear in the face, take God by the hand and step into your bright future!
