Boldness versus Fearfulness

Definition: Confidence that what I say or do is true, right and just.

Acts 4:13 – “The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men who had had no special training.  They also recognised them as men who had been with Jesus.”

Is your confidence rooted in Christ?  When you speak, do people recognise that you have been with Jesus?  No one can stand against you if you have God on your side.  If you know you are doing the right thing and that Jesus would agree with your actions or words, you have every right to be confident and bold!  Do not let fear hold you back!  If you have been with Jesus, it does not matter what your background is; Jesus will show Himself through you!

Let boldness flow from knowing who you are!

Quote:

Surely God would not have created a being such as man to exist only for a day!  No, no, man was made for immortality! – Abraham Lincoln

Dear Lord

I place my confidence in You.  Thank You for being on my side when I do what is right in Your eyes.  Help me to not be afraid or timid when You call on me to act.   Let others see that I have been with You and that I am Your instrument here on earth, so that they may glorify You.  Amen.
