As we step into a new year, the call to live with urgency and purpose has never been clearer. In this series, we’ll explore how God calls us to seize the opportunities in front of us, make bold decisions, and take steps of faith that can transform our lives and those around us. Through biblical stories of individuals who embraced their “now or never” moments, we’ll be inspired to break free from hesitation, procrastination, and fear, stepping fully into God’s plan for this new year. It’s time to trust Him, take action, and walk in His promises—because the time is now.
Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.
They’re talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. News programs disgorge enough hand-wringing information to warrant an advisory. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked doors. Wouldn’t it be great to walk out?
Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more and fear less.
Can you imagine your life without fear?
