A Steady Heart

God has asked you to do a specific thing. As you begin to put the legwork behind the calling He has given you, you cannot expect the road to be without opposition. Maybe God has asked you to take a step and adopt a child, start a business, plant a church, put your kids in public school, move, or lead a small group. The possibilities are endless, but the end is the same—all for the glory of God. In moving toward what God wants you to do, the forces of darkness will move back.

Can you steady your heart when people whisper behind your back or criticize your actions? Can you steady your heart when you fail along the way? Can you steady your heart when others fail you? Our hearts can be firm as a rock when we trust that God is working and moving on our behalf.

If He has placed something on your heart today, don’t let fear of what could happen get in your way. Step out in faith and anchor your heart in the Lord.

What “what-if” scenarios do you need to silence and bring before God today?
