BE BRAVE-YOU CAN DO IT

Joshua 1:9 This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Being strong and courageous doesn't always come naturally does it? Sometimes it means pulling up your big girl socks which is something I did yesterday!  I haven't driven properly for several years and have used lots of excuses as to why I don't drive anymore but have felt very challenged lately to get out there again.  The other night I dreamed about driving successfully so yesterday I took the bull by the horns and actually went out for a drive and I kept reminding myself I'm an Overcomer, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, thank You Lord with Your help I can drive this car!

By the time I came back I was so chuffed that I'd overcome some of my fears about it and am believing the Lord to get me back to normal driving again.You're probably thinking what's the big deal but for me it was big! How about you? Are there some things that you'd love to overcome, things you keep finding excuses for not doing; things that maybe intimidate you? 

If so, let me encourage you today to be strong and courageous, to not be afraid or discouraged because the Lord your God really is with you wherever you go and He wants you to believe Him when He says He's made you an Overcomer.

I heard Joyce Meyer say once that it's ok to do it afraid. If we wait until the fear goes we'll probably wait a long time but when we confront the problem and do it in faith with His help He really does help us overcome. So I hope my testimony today encourages someone to be an Overcomer and a doer of the Word and put it into practice, not just be hearers only. Be brave - you can do it too! 😊
