Remember when you were a kid, and you had to retrieve something from a dark place, or sleep over somewhere new for the first time? You tiptoed and shivered through it until it was over. When you have faith in God, you don't have to tiptoe through challenges or fears. He wants you to barrel towards them, with the confidence that He will go in front, protecting and empowering you all the way. Remember who HE is, and those fears won't hold any power over you. As we'll see in today's teaching, that kind of approach to life is not only more comforting, it also speaks loudly to others going through hard times. When people see God's work in you, they'll see Him.
