THE CONFIDENT WOMAN DEVOTIONAL: GET A LIFE!

Spread the love

TEXT: Numbers 14: 8-9

A shy person shrinks back from many things that she should confront. There are
many things she would like to say or do, but she’s paralyzed by fear. I believe
we must learn to step out into things and find out what God has for us in life.
A more timid approach may protect individuals from making mistakes, but the
result is that they spend their lives wondering “what could have
been.” Bold people, on the other hand, make more mistakes, but they
recover and eventually find what is right and fulfilling for them.

Making mistakes is not the end of the world. We can recover from most mistakes.
But one of the few mistakes we cannot recover from is the mistake of never
being willing to make one in the first place! God works through our faith, not
our fear. Don’t sit on the sidelines of life wishing you were doing the things
you see other people doing. Take action and make the most of life!

Pray: Lord, I put my trust in you and look forward to moving into new areas of
life. I will not sit on the sidelines any longer. Amen.

From the book The Confident Woman Devotional by Joyce Meyer.
