Bravery

As a woman Bravery is not something I tend to think a lot about. However, after my bible study the other night I feel like I received a huge wake-up call for the woman’s role. Proverbs 31:10 call us to have “noble character” which is translated in Greek to mean Brave. I have read this passage before and never saw it as bravery. I realized that I am not really a brave woman. I have a lot of fears. My biggest fear is that I will put my circumstances in front of trusting in God. Making excuses for not doing what he is asking me to do. Having faith requires being very brave. As I get older, fears somehow take more control of my life. I really miss that child-like optimist and zeal. Where does it go? Well the most common command in the bible is “Do Not Be Afraid” Why do you think the Lord reminds us of that so often? I believe because it is the thing we struggle with the most in our lives. Wouldn’t it be great to have one day go by with no fearful thoughts? What would you think about?
