The Weight Training of Fear

Overcoming Fear
Weight training makes you stronger by using resistance. We have to exercise our faith in the same way. Our faith is linked to courage and fearlessness, and we grow strong through resistance. You might be filled with fear and anxiety- so were a lot of people who were called by God to do great things. They stepped out and became courageous. Do you want to become courageous? Exercise with resistance. Deal with situations that would make you afraid by seeing it as weight training. When you're in fear of sharing with that person, or standing for your faith, just do it. Think of the joy that comes when you overcome that fear. When you have a chance to avoid that fearful situation as you would normally, instead go straight up, head on. Step out, and soon enough, you'll become courageous. Moses, Gideon, Jeremiah, and Peter were afraid, but they all stepped out. They became the courageous people of God that He called them to be. Are you afraid? You're in good company. Step out now and who knows what a courageous person of God you will become.

Today's Mission
Deal with that thing that you would normally avoid. Ask for God's strength and go head on. Be strong and of good courage.

Ephesians 6:14
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND!!
