March 7 Devotion

I remember a few years ago we took Anna to Chicago. While we were there, we went to the top of the Sears Tower. At one time it was the tallest building in the world. They have a section at the top where you can step out on glass above the city. Barbara and Anna both went out there and they waited for me to back up in my chair. It scared me. It really did. I’m not so much afraid of heights, as much as I am not being able to react if something were to happen due to my paralysis. Either way, it scared me. 

Are there things in your life that keep you from reaching your full potential? Is fear one of those? Do you let it control what you attempt to do? At one point or another, we are all going to experience fear. But we cannot let it dictate our actions. Let’s remember that God has a plan for us. Sometimes it is going to take us out of our comfort zone. Sometimes it’s going to require us to face what makes us fearful. But every time, it is for our good. It is for his good. Because his plan is good. Although it may be difficult for us to fulfill. Although it may be hard for us to see why we are going through it. It’s always for our good. We will be better because of it.

Let’s look at it like this. God has a reason for everything. Even when he puts us in situations that causes us to be fearful. There is a reason. Sometimes it’s for our growth. Sometimes it’s for our long-term success. Sometimes it results in happiness. Always, the situations he puts us in builds our faith. If we let them. God did not give us a spirit of fear. So let’s not be afraid to fail. We can learn from failure. And always believe this, God is greater than any fear that we have. God is greater than any failure that we may go through.
