Egg shells

You know those days when you walk around on egg shells, terrified that you might possibly offend or hurt, or not sure exactly where we are going or what we should do, or even who we should be....??

They are so frustrating, and really, really not needed, and I think that most of the time that we walk around on egg shells it is actually satan hard at work pulling us down and undermining who God has made us to be and how he has created us! I am still trying to work out if we have an excuse for this kind of behavior, but none come to mind. It only steals and destroys opportunities that we are given, experiences, people, joy, life!!!! We really can be sure and confident of ourselves, of life, of who we are in God, of who he has called us to be. We can step out in assurance that he knows what's happening. We don't need to be brash and outspoken, rude and obnoxious as a result either!

Say NO to eggshells!!!

Deut 3:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Exodus 14:13 Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.

Hebrews 11:1-2 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.

Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Hebrew 13:6 So we say with confidence,"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

Hebrews 4:15- 16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
