When you remember what God said, you won’t be worried, you’ll have peace in the midst of the storm. You’ll have faith to believe for the impossible. You’ll have the courage to defeat giants, the endurance to outlast opposition, the favor to accomplish more than you thought possible.
There’s a time for weeping, a time for loss, a time for disappointment, but that’s not the end of the story. There’s also a time for restoration, a time for healing, a time for deliverance, a time for celebration. God said He will make all things beautiful in their time.
There’s a new you on the inside, ready to rise up, break free, and reach new levels. Now do your part and have the courage to leave what’s comfortable, the courage to get away from dysfunction, whatever is limiting your growth, the courage to have a new mindset. Don't live with insecurity, not enough, can’t do it. Get rid of the old so that the new you can show up.
I can’t promise you that God will deliver you from every fire, but I can promise you God will be with you in that fire to sustain you, to protect you, to empower you, to enlarge you, to move you toward your destiny.
Jesus said in John, “You didn’t choose Me, I chose you.” God loves to choose strangers: people who don’t seem to fit, people who weren’t raised in faith. You wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t chosen. He handpicked you. Don’t go your whole life thinking you don’t measure up.
At times we all feel unqualified or intimidated. That’s not a lack of faith; that’s normal. But here’s the key: feelings don’t tell you the truth. Feelings are fickle. You have to override those feelings with what you know. The Lord is your Shepherd; you have everything you need for each season that you’re in.
You wouldn’t be where you are if you didn’t have what it takes. Your assignment may be bigger than your confidence, but it’s not bigger than your calling. God has already given you the confidence, the strength, and strategy to defeat the giants and step into your purpose.
When you’re at peace, you’re in a position of power. It seems like being loud and forceful is power. But sometimes that’s showing weakness. We’re trying to roar to hide our insecurity. Instead, why don’t you be still and know that He is God.
