I used to struggle with fear so badly. I missed out on many amazing opportunities because I was too scared to risk. John Wimber, an amazing teacher and pastor, was famous for saying that FAITH is spelled R-I-S-K! That’s not to say we do dumb stuff for the sake of doing dumb stuff. That’s saying if God asks us to do something, we trust that no matter how crazy it seems, He will fulfill His purpose in it. The devil knows that fear will often make us hesitate and miss the empowered moment we should have moved, so it is one of his favorite tactics in limiting us children of God. But If you have “missed it” like I have so many times, you are in good company and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Overcoming fear is a process that starts by daily taking baby steps. Every time you see God come through, you get bolder and more quick to respond to bigger and scarier tasks. So many of us feel like “fraidy cats” but what’s true is that we have LIONS inside of us! God is dedicated to growing each of us until our “meows” turn into “ROARS!!”
