There is a story of a woman whose town was being flooded. She desperately climbed to the roof and held on to the chimney for dear life. A neighbor came by in a boat and offered help. She said, No, the Lord is going to save me. A dog came by and tried to pull her to safety. She shooed the dog away and said, No, the Lord is going to save me. The police came by with a helicopter and offered assistance. She said, No, the Lord is going to save me.
She passed away in the storm and her first question to God was, Why didn’t you save me? God said, I sent a dog, a helicopter, and a boat. Why didn’t you take my help?
So I kindly remind you to take advantage of your life. Let’s choose to stop being cowards and start living great lives. God will speak to us and tell us what is right or wrong for us and then we must trust that voice enough to listen and act upon it. You cannot love your life and live with fear. They do not peacefully coexist. So you must learn to take whatever fear you are feeling and use it to your advantage. Use your fear to take you from coward to glorious. Use your fear. Don’t let it use you.
