So, it’s no joke, I love to run. I love to escape the world, the chores, the cries, and the responsibilities and just enjoy the world that God has created with my own two feet. I find that this is my quiet time. The time I can tap into God’s blessings, to pray, to worship, and to be in awe of Him. On a recent run {that was less pleasant than desired} I began trying to shift my focus from the pain and suffering to something a little more inspirational. I began to tell myself, “The voice you hear in your head that says you can’t do this is a liar.” As I said this realized just how true this is in SO much more than just running. Especially in faith. How often do we let the enemy tell us we can’t do something? How often do we let his lies overturn the blessing that God has for us? How many of His blessings are we missing because the enemy plants that seed of fear in our minds and hearts. If I am honest with myself this has probably happened more often than I would like to admit. I have been blessed with some amazing opportunities these past couple days and can already feel my default setting getting ready to fire up.
- I can’t do this…
- What do I have to offer…
- Will they like me…
- Is this really what You have for me…
- All these people are so much more successful…
As these lies enter my mind I remind myself that “The voice you hear in your head that says you can’t do this is a liar.” I refuse to let the enemy have one more blessing that the Lord has for me. I decide to face my fears head on and be more intentional with God now than I have ever been! BRING.IT.ON!
I challenge you to do something this week that is out of your comfort zone. Something that God has been placing on your heart, but you have yet to committ to because of fear. Just remember “The voice you hear in your head that says you can’t do this is a liar.”
XOXO,
