Determination Overtakes Fear

Heaven’s windows opened with pouring rain and, with it, thunder and lightning—the perfect setting for our little dog to find solace on someone’s lap. Yet, amid the sounds of indoor activity and outdoor storms, Scout heard something that moved him beyond the fear of bad weather. He ran to the door, impatiently waited until someone opened it, and raced outside to investigate what he heard.

Oh, that we would seek our heavenly Father and listen for His voice amid our life’s storms. Would we, like Scout, bravely run toward the unknown when He says not to be afraid? Would seeking and trusting God overtake our fears? He is faithful and will never leave us.

Moses encouraged Joshua with these words as he assigned the new leader the daunting task of leading God’s people into the unknowns awaiting them in the Promise Land: “And the Lord, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee. Fear not, neither be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8
