Fearless!

God rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and brought them through the wilderness to a land, "flowing with milk  and honey." 

   



   But, there was one “BIG” problem.  It was inhabited by giant warriors. Now, instead of trusting God and taking their land, they disobeyed God in fear.  They rebelled because of their fear.  When the going got tough, they got going... the wrong way.  They aloud their fear to dictate their future. 

But there were to guys named Joshua and Caleb, who were two of God’s chosen men.  They pleaded with Israel, "Do not rebel against the Lord and do not fear the people of the land.  For they will be our prey" (Numbers 14:9).    They saw the fear of the Israelites the way God saw it, as rebellion.  That rebellion caused almost the whole nation of Israel to miss out on the Promised Land. 

When we go with the flow and take the path of least resistance we are often rebelling against God’s authority.   See, following God won’t always be easy.   In fact, you may have to at times, step out and take a risks. But with big risks, come big rewards!

Let me encourage you today:
Don’t miss out on what God has for you, because of fear!
Don’t miss your Promised Land, because of fear!
Don’t miss out on what God wants to do in & through you, because of fear. 
Don’t let fear dictate your future! 

It’s time to conquer that fear  & Follow Him in spite of it!  We need to learn how to truly lean on Christ, trusting in Him for & with everything you’ve got.
