It takes courage to follow Jesus! When Jesus called his followers, he told them simply to come on. He didn't sit down with them and help them figure out a plan of action, he made a request and expected obedience.
There are several examples in the bible where we see uncertainty from people. Jesus tells us he will take care of those that follow him.
“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. (Luke 12:32 ESV)
What we have to do is have the courage and faith to follow through with our calling. Fear creeps in as soon as something bigger than ourselves begins to happen.
The reality is, circumstances bigger than ourselves are sure to happen when following Jesus. It's his plate not ours and his plate is greater than anything we can imagine.
So when we find ourselves scrambling and searching for answers, the best answer is to be still and listen to that still small voice. Jesus has the answer and he will take care of it all, we have nothing to fear!
A grateful believer in Jesus Christ,
Johnna
