Fearless

It was amazing! Yesterday evening, I was on our back deck, doing my devotions. On our deck, we have a hibiscus tree that tends to attract humming birds. I was sitting just a few feet away from the tree when I heard a buzzing sound (and just so you know, our deck also attracts bumble bees...). I turned my head to make sure the bee (or so i thought) was far away from me, when I saw a little humming bird. I thought for sure when it realized I was there, it would've flown away, but nope. It was so busy, burrowing its face in the plant that it didn't even notice me at first. It took it's beak out of the beautiful flower to move onto the next when it saw me. It flew towards me a little and slowly inched its way a little closer. Before I knew it, the little bird was literally a foot away from my face. It just stared at me, then flew off.


While I was out there, God was showing me how I need to trust Him more. There may be dangers in this life while following the call from God, but I shouldn't be afraid. I should look danger in the face and not be afraid. I should just trust God to keep me safe.


It was amazing that God sent me that little humming bird. Because even though I was sitting there, close to the beautiful hibiscus flower, it wasn't afraid. I could've caused much danger for that tiny bird, but it chose to go to the flower instead; it would've been worth the risk. It even looked me right in the face, and yet it didn't flee from me. It just flew off carelessly. We should be able to trust God enough that even when it can be scary, He'll take care of us. We should be able to look danger in the face and not be afraid because our God is much bigger than the danger before us. We should be able to follow Him, fearless... like that Taylor Swift song,
"Cause I don't know how it gets better than this, You take my hand and drag me head-first, fearless..."

It's gonna be hard, but it's gonna be worth it. God would never call us to do anything that we couldn't handle. So even when (yes, I said when) we do get in danger, God will ALWAYS be there to hold our hand through it.
