DAILY DEVOTIONAL
FRESH WORD TO RENEW YOUR MIND EVERYDAY
Would you like for us to pray for you?
James 5v14: "Is anyone among you sick? "
Say No To Fear!
"Now [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father's house, to the Land that I will show you." - Genesis 12v1 (AMP) How would you feel if God told you to leave your home, your family and everything that is familiar and comfortable and head out to an unknown destination? Most likely full of fear? In the scripture verse today that is exactly what God told Abram to do and it frightened him. The Bible tells us of the story of Abram who trusted God in spite of his own personal fear. Fear Not!
But God's words to him were "Fear not!". Many times we think we should wait to do something until we are no longer afraid, but if we did that, we'd probably miss out on the opportunity of a life time, accomplish very little for God, for others, or even for ourselves! Stepping Out In Faith!
Abram had stepped out in Faith and in obedience to God, despite his fear.

If Abram had bolted, bowed his knee to fear, he never would have fulfilled his destiny in life to become all God created him to be -
The Father of many nations.
The Great Reward!
Today, his descendants still benefit from the result of his faith and obedience to God. What is your hope for your descendants? Giving into fear alters God's best plan for your life. So, do whatever He wants you to do, even if you have to do it afraid!
Just do it anyway.
Like Abram you'll find that the rewards are great. Pray This Prayer:
Father,
I thank you Lord that your love is greater in me than any fear that tries to lodge itself inside of me.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen!
