00:04Fear will not have the final word. Fear blocks more than we realize. It slows us down,
00:11traps us, and sometimes keeps us from moving forward. The disciples also knew fear. Yet
00:18Jesus announced a new power to them. 2 Timothy 1 verse 7 says, For the Spirit God gave us does
00:26not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline. God's presence does not feed
00:33fear. It builds courage. This does not mean you will never feel afraid. It means fear does not
00:40have to lead your life. Joshua heard these words, Be strong and courageous. When God walks with someone,
00:48new confidence can grow. Today, what once made you step back does not need to rule you anymore.
00:54Prayer. Lord, replace my fear with your courage. Give me the strength to move forward despite my
01:02fears. I choose to trust you.
