Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
It made me stop and think of all the things I’d love to ‘dare to be’ if I had the courage but if you’re like me, you may not be very courageous by nature. Scripture reminds us in 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.
Sometimes God asks us to do things out of our comfort zone and we have to decide to ‘dare2be’ the person He says we can be, or chicken out and refuse to do it. I have found that when I’ve done what He says, He does give me the courage and ability to do it, even if I do it with my knees knocking!😊
Our verse says God is not just asking, He is commanding each one of us to be courageous, to be a Dare2Be person. He wants us to take the limits off and allow Him to do more than we could ever ask or imagine, if we’ll just work with Him. Maybe He’s nudging you to go and speak to someone about Jesus, or to volunteer for something you’ve never done before, or to go for that interview? If so, can I encourage you to reach out in faith and take the first step, knowing He is going ahead of you and He will help you to succeed?
We never know what we can do till we try and He’s not asking us to go and kill a giant - well, not yet anyway - that might come later!🤣
Seriously though, whatever He’s been speaking to you about, dare to be who He says you can be, dare to have what He says you can have, and dare to do what He says you can do. You’ll be amazed at what you can do with the Holy Spirit’s help, and as we go through one door of opportunity, so another one will open. Thank You Lord. Amen.
