Are You Mobilized or Paralyzed? 2j3y6i

Today is a day of celebration and transition, as many are graduating and stepping into new seasons of life. But with every new step, fear often tries to creep in, paralyzing us and making us question, “What if I fail? What if I’m not enough?” Yet, God’s plan for each of us is not to be held captive by fear, but to move forward in faith, trusting that His presence is with us every step of the way. Fear is a natural response, but it does not have to control our actions or our destiny. Every day, in big and small ways, we are all “graduating”—moving from one stage to another, overcoming old struggles, and stepping into new callings. Looking at the story of Moses and the Israelites at the Red Sea, we see how fear can tempt us to retreat to what is familiar, even if it means going back to bondage. God’s instruction is to “stand still”—to set aside our emotions, get out of our heads, and listen to what He is saying in our hearts. Head knowledge is valuable, but it is the presence of God within us that truly guides and sustains us. Our primary calling is not just to do things for God, but to be with Him, to live out of His presence, and to let His Spirit flow through us like a river. 6k6z3g
