Being "Daring" in the Everyday Moments Part Two

David's example is one of full-out abandon to God. He doesn't run and hide under his bed. He doesn't stand by and wait for someone else to make the first move for God. Many times we say, "Not me, Lord!" and miss opportunities to be used for Him. :( I'm sorry to say, I have, too.

That girl standing by herself in the corner...I don't talk to her. The neighbors next door who don't know Jesus Christ as Lord of their life...I never open my mouth. The opportunities are everywhere, right in front of me, and because of fear and pride, I am silent. For you it may be another thing. Maybe you are bold for Christ when it comes to telling others about Him, but are slow to help others who need a helping hand. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses.

God puts many of us in everyday circumstances to perform simple, little, and sometimes menial tasks for His glory.

Never underestimate what God can do through these little things!

Daring to step out in faith to do what God desires you to do is being brave, courageous, strong, and daring!!! :)

I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty and joy to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble.

Helen Keller

To be fearless in the Lord does not require us to be great and powerful men, but only to believe in the great and powerful God.

R.J Rushdoony

We have lots of people in the Bible (and throughout history) who can inspire and encourage us to be daring: Look at Daniel in the lions den, the three men in the fiery furnace, Noah and the ark, Abraham with Isaac (daring to kill his only son because God told him to), Esther coming before the King to save her people, Moses following God into a wilderness, leading an entire nation of people and trusting that God would provide for them.

There are also stories of forgiveness like that of Peter. When Jesus needed him most, he turned and fled and denied he knew his Lord.

God will always give us the boldness to act when we need it most and He is always ready to forgive when we run and hide.

I take great comfort in that and I hope you do too. :)

Oh what I would do to have

The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant

With just a sling and a stone...

But the voice of truth tells me a different story

And the voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"

And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"

Out of all the voices calling out to me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

"According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him."

Ephesians 3:11-12

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion."

Proverbs 28:1

Together, we can be daring.

May God grant all of us the desire and the power to be daring for Him.

P.S. - Thank you, dear Rachelle, for inviting me to be a part of this! I enjoyed it and was challenged myself by what God had to share with me and what He wanted me to share in this post with you all. :) You are such a blessed friend and I'm so glad God has brought us together to be sisters in Christ! Love you so much! Hugs! -Rachel
