Day 132

Day 132 of 365

Walk with Boldness Some people exude boldness, while others struggle with living boldly as a loved child of God. I had that problem until God showed me some important keys that helped me live boldly, and I want to share them with you. 1. Refuse to live in fear. Fear is an epidemic in our society. The Bible instructs us in Hebrews 10:38 to live by faith and not draw back in fear. 2. Put setbacks behind you. You are not a failure because you try new things and they don't work out. You fail only when you stop trying. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and if you do, recover quickly and press on. 3. Don't draw comparisons. Boldness will be impossible as long as you compare yourself to others. Boldness comes from accepting who you are and being the best you can be. 4. Be willing to take action. Search your heart and ask yourself what you believe God wants you to do, and then do it. Pray over these four keys, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you live them out. Hold up your head and be filled with boldness. Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, I want boldness to be one of my defining traits. Help me to live out these four keys by Your strength. Proverbs 28:1

Proverbs 28:1 NIV

1 The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion. 10 Whoever leads the upright along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance. one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are. but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding. but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble. is a wicked ruler over a helpless people. but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign. will seek refuge in the grave; let no one hold them back. but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit. but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.
