Hi Everyone! Our Daily Devotional today comes from JOYCE MEYER .
We all have fears in life, I probably haven't met anyone yet who is fearless. Maybe a fearless person, has his own fear but he is good at hiding it. You see sometimes the fear we feel, comes from our lack of self-confidence. We fear our failures, and the mistakes we might commit along the way. As a student, we fear that we will fail in school. As a mother, I fear that my kids wouldn't grow well enough, that they might get in to trouble someday, or fear for our health once we experience some symptoms we tend to believe that we are sick and sometimes, it does come true.
That is what this scriptures is helping us with. To let us know that we are conquerors. We can conquer our fears in life, because God is giving us HIS grace every single day. Fear no matter big or small, will stop us from moving forward and achieving a better life. So we have to take courage! I like what Joyce Meyer said about courage, it is not the absence of fear, it is pressing forward when you feel afraid. True though, I have always believe that our success in life will come from our Courage Zone, not our comfort zone. If we stay comfortable in life and afraid to take risks, we are going to stay where we are. The most successful people in the world, has the most fears that conquered, has the highest risks took. And so it is not impossible that they are now at the pedestal being admired by us. We look into them and say "Oh boy! How I wish I am at his shoes right now". Not knowing that he is where he is now because he first took the courage to face his fiercest fears.
So take Courage my friends! Everyday is an opportunity to be a step closer or farther from our dreams. The only thing we need to do is ACT!
