The Burning Question:
Who is someone you’ve always wanted to thank but haven’t had the chance?
Morning Devotional:
Have you ever wondered what you could accomplish for God if you weren’t afraid of what was to come? I think we all have struggled with fear at one point or another. You get the assignment from God, you know what you need to do, but the enemy gets in there and tells you things that just manage to set you up for fear and failure.
I personally fear the unknown a lot and at times I shy away from doing what God asks because of fear. It’s only when I trust in the promises of God that my fear is overcome.
There was ample opportunity for Joshua to be fearful about going up against Jericho but in Joshua chapter six, the Lord dispels his fear by telling him, “See, I have given up the city.” I have to think it wasn’t the marching around the walls of Jericho that made them fall. It was the moment Joshua believed God over his circumstance that the city became his. Marching was an exercise of faith and obedience.
Paul says in 2 Timothy 1:7 that “God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.” Believe what God says He will do and those fears of yours will disappear!
