Is It Fear, Or God,...Choose Wisely

Good Morning!! So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) We must step out in faith and allow God to take the clumsy caterpillar and transform it into a beautiful butterfly. He has a perfect plan for our lives that can only be fulfilled if we are willing to shed our cocoons and fly with Him. In spite of the shaky flights, and unsure landings,...it's always worth the ride.
The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?—Psalm 27:1 (NIV)

We must not wrap ourselves in a cocoon of fear and anxiety over what might happen if we move out of our comfort zones. We must obey God's calling on our lives. Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. Proverbs 29:25 (NIV)

Even in disastrous situations, God still fulfills His purpose when we surrender to His Will.

Father God, we know You have called us to serve You. Help us to overcome the fears of this world,...and to cling tightly to You. We trust that You have a plan for our lives. We know that if we just trust You, follow You, and obey You, we can rest in the safety of Your Will.  Thank You for being our strength when we're weak,...and our refuge when we're scared. In Jesus' name, Amen.
