Bet



How often do you bet on yourself?

I'm not talking about being conceited. I'm talking about being confident and trusting God to handel the rest.

If you read my last blog you learned that I'm a big planner but that I'm choosing to let my faith be bigger than my fear. That I don't have it all figured out but I trust the one who does. 

So think back when was the last time you bet on yourself? 
Like a "I'm going for it!" 

Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the day to day and start to coast. Sometimes we say no out of fear, we're too scared so we let our fear still us. When we don't move, we don't grow. 

What is it really that we're scared of? I know personally it's Failing. I like Lucas Grahams words best: 
"I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major."


The truth is we can play the "what if" game everyday. We what if about our today, our tomorrows, and even our yesterdays, but is that really what God wants?


At some point I have to realize that someone bigger than any of my fears has it all figured out.

Will you trust Him with me or waste your days in fear? Bet on yourself, bet on others, most of all bet that God has all the details figured out, you can't lose when you bet on His plan.

"You wonder
What if I am overtaken?
What if I never make it?
What if no ones there?
Will you hear my prayer?
When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know he won't let you go
So get out and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste don't wait
And don't you turn around and miss out on everything you were made for"
