The Weight Training of Fear

The Weight Training of Fear…

Weight training makes you stronger by using resistance. We have to exercise our faith in the same way. Our faith is linked to courage and fearlessness, and we grow strong through resistance.

You might be filled with fear and anxiety – and so were a lot of people who were called by God to do great things. They stepped out and became courageous. Do you want to become courageous? Exercise with resistance.

Deal with situations that would make you afraid by seeing it as weight training. When you’re in fear of sharing with that person or standing for your faith, just do it. Think of the joy that comes when you overcome that fear.

When you have a chance to avoid that fearful situation as you would normally, instead go straight up, head on. Step out, and soon enough, you’ll become courageous.

Moses, Gideon, Jeremiah, and Peter were afraid, but they all stepped out. They became the courageous people of God that He called them to be.

Are you afraid? You’re in good company. Step out now, and who knows what a courageous person of God you will become.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.  Ephesians 6:14

Deal with that thing that you would normally avoid. Ask for God’s strength and go head on. Be strong and of good courage.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
