Another Great challenge over at
http://www.faithsister.com/.
************
Don't mistake the title of this devotion to be one founded in the heart of someone who has the courage of a lion. If I am anything like any lion, it would be the cowardly one in the “Wizard of Oz.”
The problem with being a coward, is that we're not supposed to live our lives in fear.
Romans 8:15 tells us, “God's Spirit doesn't make us slaves who are afraid of him. Instead, we become his children and call him our Father.” (Common English Version) In fact, we're not supposed to fear anything. Over and over again, the Lord tells us not to be afraid. He tells us to “be strong and courageous”
(Joshua 1:9). Throughout history, God has called His people to different tasks. Some He has called to be prophets. I'm sure that in that group somewhere, some of those called were afraid of public speaking. Others He has called to be prayer warriors, when most likely, they had no idea how to go about talking to God. Some of us He has called to be lead worshippers, even those of us who have never felt quite good enough.
The journey we're going to take throughout the course of devotions here at Faith Sisters is going to show us how much we are like some of the great founders of our faith. They too were afraid, but chose to trust God and obey His call. We're going to study those that stepped out in faith, and through God's greatness, achieved great things. Along the way, I'm sure we'll see ourselves mirrored in these people, and perhaps just learning about those who have gone before, we'll find ourselves trusting a little more, and trembling in fear a lot less.
