 Has anyone ever called you timid? Timidity is defined as having a lack of courage or confidence. The Lord has recently given me a realization that I was being overcome by timidity and was completely unaware of it. Jesus wasn’t timid with his purpose when he took our sin and shame to the cross. Therefore I refuse to be timid in my faith for a God that courageously chases after me. This devotional will help you reflect on seven different areas of your faith where timidity may be trying to set in. I pray the Lord will give you an awareness of timidity in your life and will guide you as you overcome it.

For a person’s faith to be credited as righteousness, it is imperative to work within the divine paradigm. We are called to work not just to earn our living, but with a quest to excel for eternal purposes. Our work must flow out of Christ’s love, joy and gratitude. There is no striving in it because, in Christ, we are at rest even when we are at work.
