TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!" And they left their nets at once and followed him." (Mark 1:17-18)
TODAY'S WORD
God is always giving us opportunities to grow and move forward in this life. But in order to experience God's best, you must be bold and willingly step out in faith to do what God says to do!
Do you have a "play-it-safe" mentality? Are you avoiding risks because you're afraid you might fail? Or, do you think that what you dreaming about might be too difficult? The Bible says that faith pleases God. It brings pleasure to the heart of God when He knows that you trust Him enough to step out and obey Him. You may not always know what will happen, and you may not always feel qualified. But the Bible says in Joshua 1:8: "Don't be afraid. Be strong, be bold, be very courageous for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." God promises He will always be with you - and with God on your side, you are more than a conqueror!
The next time you know God is bringing an opportunity across your path, step out of your comfort zone! Step out in faith, knowing that God has His best in store for you. He desires to bring you success. Be willing to take some risks - knowing that Almighty God is right there by your side!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
God, I have nothing to fear with You by my side. There are risks I should take and doors I need to open and I will trust in You as I meet these challenges. Today, I will be bold in my faith! In Jesus' name, Amen.
We sure love you!
