Being Fearless...

We hear the word "fearless" a lot... whether it be the Taylor Swift song or even the Max Lucado book, but it makes me wonder if we really know what it means. According to the Webster's dictionary fearless means: "without fear; bold or brave."

To me fearless isn't really any of those... yeah I think that being fearless is not having fear but I think it goes deeper than that. Fearless is going into something not knowing what will happen. It is completely trusting God to do something amazing. One of my favorite verses is Proverbs 3:5-6 which says" Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understandings. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path."

Yes I know... it is very hard to just fully and completely trusting God with everything. There are so many times that we would much rather do everything ourselves but a lot of times that actually doesn't turn out the way we thought it would and usually end up falling to our knees and asking God to help us. If only we had enough faith in God to trust Him with our life and everything in it. To me fearless is doing exactly that... having no fear that God will help me out... having no fear that He will continue to show me His plan for my life and not just what I want.

We need to go into our lives almost blind to what we want. We need to trust in God that He will take us on the journey He wants. We need to be fearless and not be afraid of what God has planned for our life!
