/Hesitation
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me  Philippians 4:13

I give you strength according to the task, but I give it as you do the work.  To hesitate is to become still more weak and timid, for it is a sense of inadequacy that causes you to draw back and fear to move, and this draws your attention to yourself; and because there is never sufficient power within yourself to do the Father's work, any focus on your own strength or ability will soon persuade you that the task is impossible.
/
When I read this all I could think is Peter stepping into the water.He had to take the first step.  When we hesitate we do become unsure of ourselves, we look around and see all the impossibility,  when he looked down he fell.  when we listen to these around us we feel defeated.  Keep your eyes on the one who is leading you and you will succeed.  No one around you can really know what God is telling you to do.  Each of us have things that God is speaking in side of ourselves to do, do it and you will be on the right track.


Father, we thank you that you have made us each as individuals and you have a plan for each of our lives,  help us Father, to listen when you speak to us, and then help us to step into the water where you have called us and do your desire.  We may not really have wet feet, but we may become bold and strong in you.  Thank you for guiding us on this pilgrim way.  In Jesus Name. Amen.

Yesterday, was a simple day of tasks that weren't extremely significant.  I am still working on quilt, cleaned church, that is about it.
