“Master, I know you have high standards and hate careless ways, that you demand the best and make no allowances for error. I was afraid I might disappoint you, so I found a good hiding place and secured your money. Here it is, safe and sound down to the last cent.”
Matthew 25:24-25 (MSG)
1. DON’T LET FEAR KEEP YOU FROM DIVINE OPPORTUNITIES.
“The master was furious. ‘That’s a terrible way to live! It’s criminal to live cautiously like that! If you knew I was after the best, why did you do less than the least? The least you could have done would have been to invest the sum with the bankers, where at least I would have gotten a little interest.”
Matthew 26:26-27 (MSG)
2. BEING STRONG AND COURAGEOUS IS A COMMAND.
“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 (NLT)
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)
3. FIND YOUR FAITH AND DO IT AFRAID.
“I sought the LORD and He answered me, and rescued me from all my fears.”
Psalms 34:4 (NASB)
