Devotional
God repeatedly gave Joshua the charge to "Be strong and courageous" (Deut 31 & Joshua 1). David said, "Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27). The words "Do not be afraid" are repeated 70 times in the Old & New Testaments. Paul would say, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8).
Fear holds us back in many ways. Fear keeps us from taking risks and investing in our business. Fear keeps us from asking for the opportunity to quote someone. Fear keeps us from asking for the sale. Fear keeps us from asking for referrals or new lines of business.
We fear people's reactions; we fear losing money; we fear losing free time or rest. Living a life of fear doesn't honor God or produce success. I encourage you to write out the things you are afraid of and then take them to God. God is for us, so what's the worst that could happen!?
