Be as Bold as a Lion!

 Proverbs 28:1

The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Throughout the bible, we hear God telling us not to be afraid, but to be courageous. This verse, emphasizes that as children of God, we can and must be bold as a lion! There are many reasons for this, some of them includes the fact that we are made in His image and we are His children. When you learn of the character of God, indeed, you can say He is bold! Hence, we are expected to exhibit His characters. Another reason we can be bold, is that we have the Holy Spirit living in us, who is our Guide, Helper, Comforter, and so much more (1 John 4:4). Greatness living in us...So why not be bold, as God is with you? 

The book of 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" This is boldness, we are told we don't have the spirit of fear in us, but the spirit of power, love and a sound mind! Therefore, be aligned with the word of God, don't think small, don't let fear paralyze you. Instead, let the word of God bring out the lion or lioness in you, that will propel you to victory through your boldness, your Father has got your back! As we begin a new year, revise your goals and ambitions, and think big and go big! We serve a Mighty God, who is unlimited, and so should you be!
