FEAR

Fear - its something that I struggle with. Today God spoke into my heart about my fear. He did it in the most loving way.

I have souht out to read the Bible through from cover to cover. I have never done it before, always admire anyone that has.

I am in Deuteronomy, in fact I just finished today. I didnt want to read Det. today. I feel incredibly dry and I had this attitude that God could not possibly talk to me through Deuteronomy and I so badly wanted Him to speak.

I was tempted to go into the NT but I didnt and I picked up God's story where I have left off.

"Be strong and courageous" Be strong and courageous - I will not leave you. Four times I read that today.

I read K blog today talking about a "new name" given to her by God. It made me wonder two things - what does Jesus think of when He thinks of me - do I have a new name waiting for me - and what does my name "Marcy" mean.

I googled it

Marcy means - Brave.

God showed me today that He does make all things glorious - and He and only He can take my fear and turn it into brave - and give me courage to continue to walk in the path He calls me to walk.

I want to be brave.
