⁷ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (1 Timothy 1:7 NKJV)

I have not always felt up to the task God has set before me. Have you felt that way? Good, then we both understand that we, in ourselves, are inadequate to the task God gives. As has been said many times, “God does not call the equipped, He equips the called.” And guess what…we are all called!

I have stepped off into avenues of ministry I had no business being involved with. I figured, if this is where God wants me, then come what may. This requires two levels of trust. Trust that God will be there with you and trust that He will help you know what to do. And before you think me more confident than I am, stop! I am/was not! I truly approached these situations with fear and trembling. But God saw me through.

Fear is from the enemy and our doubt. God gives us the power and sound mind for the task and He supplies the love.

Reflect on: Whether or not you are stepping out in confidence when God calls.
