TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts
in the Lord is kept safe.
Proverbs 29:25, NIV.
TODAY'S WORD:
Fear is one of the enemy’s favorite tools to keep us from
going forward in our lives. As soon as we make a decision to step out in faith
and do what God is telling us to do, immediately the enemy will bring fear.
He’ll put thoughts in your mind like, “What if I fail? What will others think?
Maybe I don’t have what it takes.” He’ll do his best to use fear to try to
convince you to shrink back and just stay right where you are.
The Bible tells us that fear is a spirit. It affects your
emotions. But when you choose to put your trust in the Lord, no matter how you
are feeling, you are combating fear.
Today I encourage you, don’t allow fear to trap you and
hold you back. Instead, take a step of faith knowing that God is on your side.
He is for you and with you, leading and guiding you in the path of victory all
the days of your life!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, I choose to put my trust in You. I choose to
press forward and overcome fear. I believe You are with me; I believe You love
me, and You are leading me in paths of righteousness all the days of my life in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
