What are you afraid of?
Like really afraid of…?
Far too often I’m afraid of what people think. It paralyzes me…leaves me unable to move. So…I retreat…leaving life to pile up while I ignore it…ready to greet me in all its vigor when I’m forced to face it.
I’d been avoiding several situations over the past few months…hoping they’d go away…and I finally realized last week that they aren’t going anywhere and I’d have to deal with it.
I was really scared…
…mostly because I was afraid that I’d look bad…
…or that I wouldn’t be good enough.
God reminded me this morning that it doesn’t really matter what other people think. As long as I’m going about life in the way that I believe He’s directing me…I’m okay.
He’s got my back.
Done!
I was listening to the radio this morning and Natalie Grant’s “Your Great Name” came on…
“Every fear; has no place; at the sound of Your Great Name
The enemy; he has to leave; at the sound of Your Great Name”
Hearing this reminded me of how rediculous it is for me to fear the things I do. My fear has no place when Jesus in involved! The only thing I need to fear is dishonoring Him and if I’m not doing that…He’s more than capable of handling it!
I’m getting better at recognizing that the fear of have is not from Him. Its from Satan who is trying to destroy…and even he has to flee at the sound of Jesus’s name.
Good Stuff.
Oh, the energy we would safe if we would just remember the power that His Great Name holds…and the truth in His word…
He’s got this handled…
And He is GOOD!
PS. No Starbucks this morning…I saved my $3.16!
