RICK WARREN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 17TH MARCH 2024
The root of all indecision is fear. We all struggle with different kinds of fears. We’re afraid we’ll make mistakes and embarrass ourselves. We’re afraid we won’t be able to finish what we’ve started. We’re afraid we’re not good enough.
One of the fears that keeps us from making decisions is the fear of disapproval. Proverbs 29:25 says, “Fear of man is a dangerous trap, but to trust in God means safety” (TLB). The moment you start worrying about what other people think, it’s over, because fear of disapproval is always worse than disapproval.
So how do you get rid of a particular fear? There’s only one way: Face it, and move against it. You do the thing you fear the most!
But how do you make that move? In faith. The only antidote to fear is faith. You have to step out in faith. You’ve got to trust God and start moving.
In every major decision we had to make as Saddleback Church grew, I was scared. But I moved forward anyway.
Courage is not the absence of fear; courage is moving ahead in spite of your fear. If you’re not afraid, you don’t need courage. Courage comes because you’re scared to death but you also are sure of what God wants you to do, so you do it anyway.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust the LORD with all your heart, and don’t depend on your own understanding. Remember the LORD in all you do, and he will give you success” (NCV).
God supports those who move in faith. So here’s the question you need to ask: Where do you need to trust God? You haven’t truly trusted him until you’ve attempted something you can’t do on your own power.
I don’t know what decision you need to make, but you need to prepare for it and then step out in faith. Why? Because your choices determine your character and your destiny. Commit yourself to the Lord, and he will give you the wisdom and courage to make the decision that will bring you closer to who he made you to be.
