Do Not Be Afraid

           "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." -Duet. 31:8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


             This verse is such full of promise. Lately, I have been scared of making changes and learning new things. I have literally stayed awake some nights thinking about some things. Things I want to happen in my mind but when I get down to the details, they're kind of scary. That time you have to move on but scared things won't happen like I want them to but deep down I know or think God has a way better plan for me so I take that step of faith outside of my comfort zone.
             The verse gives us a promise that God will go before me. He will plan my path for me and because of that He'll come back and get me ready for it. Really He is already there yet he is right beside me. That's how big and amazing out God is! We might be scared of things that might be hard but we can't let excuses get in our way. We can not get discouraged and give up because things don't go as we planned them. We have to get back up and start again.
             We have to look at the cross of Jesus to really live my life! We can't look at our doubts or unbelief. We can't look at our sins and expect us to feel good. It doesn't work that way. God promised He would be with us and ahead of us. Nothing is a surprise to Him. If you are for sure, God promised you something, then you can be sure it will come about in your life. Don't be scared or discouraged! God is just preparing you for what's next.
             This is a short entry. Sorry about that but I was mainly focusing on the verse and it is a short one. I hope it comes across right and understandable. Not to jumbled up.
