Den of Truth - Stop waiting for God to give you “proof.” Step out in faith and make the decision with the understanding that God is with you.

Did you know that in the story of David and Goliath, David steps up and volunteers to fight? He didn’t have some miraculous dream where God called him, didn’t audibly hear the Lord’s voice, and didn’t have some experience or sign to let Him know that this is what he was supposed to do.

He knew something that many of us don’t understand.

He knew that God was his friend and that He’d protect him.

How many of us succumb to the giants in our life because of fear? Fear of failure, fear of making the wrong decision, or even fear of regret… We live inside a small little box of complacency because it’s where we feel comfortable. We stay there because it’s safe and there is little risk in failure.

Opportunities come and go, but we stay put thinking that if we were supposed to take action, God would somehow make it known to us. Well, I hate to break it to you, but the bible doesn’t really back up that claim.

Sure, God can call you to something in a miraculous way. But more often than not, you’re actually called to step out in faith believing that God is with you and will protect you, just like David.

But fear stops so many people from doing incredible things in life. We want to receive proof from God that we are supposed to do this or that. Well, for faith to be faith, it usually doesn’t work like that. If God told you everything, you wouldn’t need faith.

We all get opportunities to get new jobs, meet new people, buy a home, travel, move, or volunteer for big things. But so many of us cower to the fear of the unknown or to the fear of potential regret.

STOP LIVING IN FEAR. Know the God is with you and will protect you. Be like David and volunteer for the insanity in life. Go be the salt of the earth and conquer the world.

As long as you pursue Jesus with your whole heart and give your self-will to Him each and every day, He is going to guide you. Don’t be afraid to make the wrong decision. A Father full of grace and love will course correct and get you back on the path if you choose incorrectly.

God loves you more than you love you. He wants what is best for you. So take some chances and see what the Lord truly wants to accomplish with you as His vessel.

Perhaps there is a war in your land and you’re the David your family and friends need to step up and kill the giant. Don’t cower in fear. Rise to occasion, volunteer, and go with power to know God is with you and will protect you.
