Challenges
Sometimes what you’re most afraid of doing is the very thing that will set you free. (Robert Tew, author)
Often, what we fear is either something that reminds us of a past failure or something ahead that seems insurmountable. In either case, we can make no progress so long as we refuse to face our fears. Tew suggests that if we accept the challenge, we may discover that succeeding in the thing we feared sets us free to accept it and even greater obstacles.
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
