The Complete Devotional With Josh Normanનમૂનો

Fear Not, for God is with You

Imagine a young child, perhaps around the age of 5 or 6, with a look of determination mixed with a bit of apprehension as they approach their first bicycle ride without training wheels. The sun is shining, casting a warm glow on the small figure, and you can see the tentative grip of their tiny hands on the handlebars. Picture a parent, perhaps a mother or father, jogging alongside the bike, their outstretched hands ready to catch the child if they wobble. You can almost hear the encouraging words, "You're doing great; just keep pedaling!" Imagine the mixed emotions of fear and excitement on the child's face as they gradually gain more confidence, realizing they are not alone in this new and daunting experience. Similarly, we have God's reassuring presence with us during our moments of fear and uncertainty, supporting us and providing the strength we need to keep moving forward.

Practical Application: Identify a fear or challenge you are facing. Pray and ask God to strengthen and help you. Trust in His promise to uphold you, and take a step forward in faith, knowing He is with you.
