Two Places
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
Devotional Reading:
"Do not build up obstacles in your imagination. Difficulties must be studied and dealt with, but they must not be magnified by fear." The decision to face fear instead of running from it is always an exercise in character building. We live in a world that can be, at times, a very frightening place. We live in a world where life-changing losses can be so painful and so profound that is seems we will never recover. But, with God's help, and with the help of encouraging family members we can recover.
During the darker days of life, we are wise to remember the words of Jesus, who reassured His disciples, saying, "take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid". Are you willing to face your fears right now? Are you willing to cast of the chains of timidity and procrastination by deciding to do what needs to be down right now, not later? Ask God for courage to step beyond the boundaries of your fears and doubts. Ask Him to guide you to a place where you can realize your full potential-a place free of failure. Don't ask the Lord to lead you to a safe place, but ask Him to lead you to the RIGHT place. These two places are seldom the same.
