| Overcome the “What If’s” |
|
| TODAY’S SCRIPTURE |
| “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” |
| (2 Timothy 1:7, NLT) |
|
| TODAY’S WORD |
|
God’s desire is that we continually progress, that we
reach higher heights and go to new levels in Him. Oftentimes, as soon as
we make the decision to step out in faith and obey God, the enemy
brings in fear to try to stop us. He’ll bring thoughts like, “What if
you fail? What are other people going to think? You don’t have what it
takes.” He’ll do his best to use fear to try to convince us to shrink
back and stay where we are.
The Bible says that fear is a spirit. It plays on our
emotions and holds us back. But the good news is that we have power over
the spirit of fear! The Bible says that perfect love casts out all
fear. When we receive God’s perfect love, we will have confidence about
the future because we know His plans are for our good. I’ve heard it
said that fear is an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real.
Understand that fear is a lie. Don’t buy the lie. Instead, choose to
believe God’s Word and receive His love so that you can overcome fear
and move forward into the blessings He has prepared for you!
