CONFRONT YOUR FEARS (1)
“God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” ~2 Timothy 1:7~
Fear is something you will experience each time you try something new, like a new job or a new relationship or a new investment strategy. You will never succeed as long as you keep giving in to fear.
The corporate world risks failure every time they launch another product. The fashion world risks failure with each new clothing line. Yet they’re willing to take multimillion-dollar risks to improve their merchandise and boost their sales. Do they always win? No, but without taking a risk they’ve no chance of succeeding at all.
The poet wrote:
“There was a very cautious man
who never laughed or played;
he never risked, he never tried,
he never sang or prayed.
And when one day he passed away,
his insurance was denied;
for since he never really lived,
they claimed he never died!”
The fact is, we all fail! The failure rate of the human race is one hundred percent, and everyone (you included) qualifies for membership in this club. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with the fear of failure.
Faith in God is what gives you the courage to confront your fears and live the life He meant you to live. If you don’t, you’ll suffer the regret of “what could have been.” You’ll never be perfect, so you’ll never be perfectly successful. That doesn’t mean you will not succeed in life - but you must try.
Fear is a “spirit,” and if you let it, it will control you. God offers you three better options: “Power…love…a sound mind.”
Thank You Abba, for the spirit of Power, Love and a Sound Mind that You have given to each of us. Lord show us how to use these gifts You have given to us so that we will be able to achieve all that we can that is in Your will. Lord I ask today that You will be with all of those reading this message and that You will give them all the many blessings that they so rightly deserve. In Jesus name we Pray Amen.
