Do it Scared

I am terrified of heights 😳 But there have been times when I’ve climbed tall towers and ridden roller coasters because I wanted to experience something with friends or chose not to miss out on fun with my family. And every single time, the fear didn’t just disappear. I was still scared. But I did it anyway. Faith sometimes requires a similar response. We will find ourselves in circumstances that don’t make sense. God will lead us into places that feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and completely outside of our control. And honestly? That can be terrifying. But God isn’t asking us to pretend we aren’t afraid. He’s asking us to recognize His presence and trust His promises. And just like He did for Gideon, He is gracious enough to give us the encouragement and reassurance we need along the way—even sometimes through the most unlikely sources. We just have to be willing to bring our fears to Him… …and allow faith to lead the way.
