Are there things you know you want to accomplish or try today but you are hesitant? What is holding you back? Is it the fear of what others might think? Or maybe the fear of failure?
Yesterday, we continued our series, Plastic People – Being Real In a Fake World. The topic of the morning was being real about our fears. So often, we become crippled by our fears. Unhealthy fear can render us helpless and ultimately useless to God and his kingdom.
Danger is real – fear is not. Fear is an emotional response to the potential outcome of a situation. The key word in that statement is potential. Fear is a response to something that has not happened – a response to something that may not even come to pass.
I would suggest to you that while danger is always present in our fallen world, fear is an emotional choice – we can choose to be afraid or we can choose to trust. When it comes to living into the life God intended for you, you must always remember two things:
- God loves you implicitly and completely.
- God has your best interest at heart – always!
Given those two foundational truths – why should we have any reason to choose fear? Romans 8:31 says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Live into that promise today.
Attempt great things for God.
Choose trust over fear!
