Bravery for the Next Step: A Year of Growing Deep and Wide: 4 (Abide)

What do we do when God calls us out of our comfort zone but were fighting fear doubt and insecurities? How do we take that step when were overwhelmed with our excuses and all of the unknowns?We abide. God knows we need to hear Him in these steps and He wants to be heard. He knows all of our obstacles and inabilities and Hes deeply in love with surrendered hearts that obey Him anyway.In volume four of Abide: A Year of Growing Deep and Wide we find bravery for the next step.We learn that we gain nothing by withholding. We lose big time when we grasp at perfectionism and pride but we gain everything when we lean in and know our need for Him. God is still taking the Red Seas in our lives and holding the water back for His people.So if He asks us to step out are we willing? Bravery for the next step comes when we live by faith not shrinking back ignoring all of our excuses and fears. And the victory we step toward is never just for ourselves; nations and generations will be transformed by our brave obedience.
