Day 1: What holds you back?

Good morning friends!

We're going to dive right in today.

This week's devotional had us take a look at the works that God has asked for us to since the beginning of time.

'for we are God's workmanship,created in Christ Jesus to do good works that God created in advance for us to do' Ephesians 2:10

Think of a time when the Lord directed someone to you, and in timidness you drew away.

Many things can influence or choice to either act or not to act.
-Pre-judgement of the person.
-Worry of our image.
-Feeling unprepared or inadequate.

Regardless of what holds us back, one thing is certain. An opportunity to shine the light of Jesus on someone is lost.

Today, I pray that we take some time to reflect on what has been holding us back to do the good works that God has prepared for us.
What prevents you from taking that step?

Come to the Lord in prayer and surrender, that He may reveal to us His answers and mysteries.

Have a blessed day friends.
