What is the most powerful force that holds us back from living a life of hope? I believe it’s fear. Fear of the unknown… fear of what might happen.
We prefer the comfort and stability of where we are at, even if it isn’t exactly where we want to be. It’s what’s familiar; it’s what we know. And even if it’s not completely fulfilling, it’s better than being seen as a failure, or bringing pain and discomfort into our life.
I refuse to let fear have any place in my life.
Joshua 1:9 says, “Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged! I am the Lord your God, and I will be there to help you wherever you go.”
When you’re tempted to fear, stop for a minute and remind yourself of the faith you have in God – that you are loved and cared for, and that He is with you. The fear will melt away… and hope will emerge.
Remember, choose hope today.
Just what I needed this morning!
