Drops of Sunshine - Daily Bread

 

 

 

For some people, stepping in to something new changes their perspective. It's like a new outfit you don't want to get dirty. You are more cautious and your awareness of the things around you that jeopardizes that increases. In Christ, our awareness of the things that contradict or threaten our newness should do the same.

 During a season where many on the East Coast are looking forward to warmer days, the Spring season is a good reminder of change. Not just change, but growth and even renewal. We too may have found ourselves in a season that felt frozen and even dead. Those are the types of situations that truly show the power and splendor of God. Let Him do his thing.

I would frequently experience Imposter Syndrome when I advanced in my career. Whenever I had a thought or an idea, I'd often keep silent out of anxiety because of it. We have to learn to trust the gifts that God has placed in us. If God is directing our path, failure is not an option.  

When we are faced with the unknown, it's safe to say that it can be frightening. It's easy to want to drift back into the safety of the known. But those new experiences could very well be the change you've been praying about. This is why we need to trust God to guide our steps and be sure to listen to his instruction.

For some people, change can be terrifying. So terrifying, that they'd rather remain in the condition they are in. But in order to take in a new experience, you have to travel outside of the comfort zone of familiar. For some of us, that is where we will find what God has waiting for us.
