As I sit in a room full of young dreamers I am struck by fear. Why? Well, because as I look around I realize that I am old and afraid.
I know…
Your thinking, no your not. But I am. I am afraid that I have waisted time. I have not impacted the kingdom like I could have. God has been working in my life for a long time. I have felt the call to missions and doing something bigger than myself for a LONG time. Why have I ignored his calling? Really I don't have a good answer except that the culture that we live in says… This is the next step in your life, and I just followed along. God calls us to be unlike the world. So, here I am! Facing my fears. And I am stoked!!!!
God is teaching me not to be afraid. He is in control and he gives me power to speak life or death into my own life. I choose life. I choose not to live in fear of walking down the street after dark or guarding the house from intruders when my team is out doing ministry or eating the mystery meat in my current meal. My GOD is my refuge. My GOD is my safe haven. My GOD is my security!
So, as you are planing the next step in your life…. stop… and think. Am I doing what God would have me do? have I listened to his voice? or am I just following the rules of society?
Don't let fear get in the way of listening to GOD. He has a plan for you and that plan does not include fear. Go out and fear no more!
