Hope-filled Sunday!
Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.
This is a powerful verse. And it’s a reminder that you can flourish instead of fear! In Deuteronomy, God challenged the Israelites, His beloved people, to be strong and courageous. And life with chronic pain and illness certainly takes a lot of courage! God quipped us, as well as the Israelites, with the Holy Spirit to guide us and support us.
Do you feel called to do something for God but are hesitant to move forward? What’s stopping you? Are you afraid that your illness will hold you back? Or just fear in general? If so, you’re not alone.
Fear holds many people back from doing what God’s called them to do. This verse is a reminder that it’s okay to step out in faith. God has your back! The Christian life is a walk of faith—stepping forward in obedience in what they are called to do. Fear and anxiety often go hand in hand. And the antidote to both of them is faith! Share on X
Reread this verse as often as necessary. Let it sink into your being that courage comes from faith, and they’re both gifts from God. Take that step of faith today. God will be right there with you.
Lord, help me remember this verse and know that I need not fear because You are with me as I take that step of faith.
Have a blessed day. Gentle hugs to all of you. ?
