Daily Devotions: Running From Opportunities - June 5, 2026

Proverbs 28:1 (ESV) - “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall explores the contrast between fear and confidence found in Proverbs. While it is wise to be watchful and discerning, Scripture speaks of a deeper fear that causes people to retreat from opportunities, responsibilities, and advancement even when no real threat exists. Pastor Sumrall explains that a clear conscience produces courage. Those who walk uprightly before God can move forward with confidence, embracing new opportunities and challenges without fear of exposure or failure. In contrast, hidden sin and unresolved issues often create fear, causing people to withdraw when doors of opportunity begin to open. Pastor Sumrall reminds us that righteousness produces boldness. As we walk honestly before God, we can face the future with confidence, step through open doors, and pursue the opportunities He places before us without fear. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
