Today\u2019s Inspiration Station With Rhonnie Scheuerman<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t Let Fear Stop You<\/strong><\/h1>\n

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

“Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. Matthew 9:9\"Jesus018\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Collecting taxes for the Romans was a lucrative job. But for a Jew like Matthew it meant betraying your own people. As a result he was despised and excluded from religious worship. But that didn\u2019t stop Jesus from calling him to be a disciple. And when He did, Matthew didn\u2019t hesitate; he\u00a0\u2018got up and followed him\u2019.\u00a0Sheila Schuller Coleman points out:\u00a0\u2018Where everyone else saw a pariah, Jesus saw a promise\u2026where everyone else saw a traitor, Jesus saw a loyal follower. Where everyone saw a loser, Jesus saw a champion of the faith\u2026It matters not who we are\u2026our education\u2026our pedigree\u2026our connections\u2026or our history\u2026Jesus has a plan\u2026and He needs every one of us to fulfil our God-given, divine purpose.\u2019\u00a0It\u2019s natural to be apprehensive when you\u2019re facing change and uncertainty, but God says,\u00a0\u2018Take courage!\u2026Don\u2019t be afraid\u2019 (Matthew\u00a014:27<\/a>).\u00a0One Bible teacher writes:\u00a0\u2018God knows it involves a challenging stretch\u2026He knows our abilities and resources aren\u2019t what strengthen us for the journey\u00a0(Philippians\u00a04:13<\/a>).\u00a0When we fear we can\u2019t do the things God calls us to do\u2026that He won\u2019t protect and provide\u2026we embrace the lie that our circumstances are bigger than God, and our faith gets placed on the altar of our own perceptions. If you\u2019re like me you often fear what\u2019s behind the curtain of God\u2019s call, and \u2013 frustratingly \u2013 He won\u2019t let me peek\u2026He keeps the curtain of our future drawn so we\u2019ll learn to live by faith and not by sight, so we\u2019ll become certain of what we hope for, and become sure of God even when we can\u2019t see how He\u2019s working in our current circumstances.<\/p>\n

Prayer Heavenly Father, <\/strong><\/p>\n

thank You for seeing something in me that others may not have, <\/strong><\/p>\n

and thank You for what You are able to do through me, in spite of me, <\/strong>for Your Glory. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n
