Boldness

Psalm 42: 1-3
As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God.
I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him?
Day and night I have only tears for food,
while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,
“Where is this God of yours?”

Today, during my quiet time, I read this verse. It reminded me how I need to be more bold. But more importantly, how I need God each and every day in my life. It's easy to fall away into the dark. And in order for me to walk in my faith, I need God daily in my life and in everything that I do.

Sometimes I get caught up with my work. I try to think that my job is just a way to finance me and Emma. It's not my life and I try to not let it consume me, but it does. A LOT...It's just the nature of the business. A lot of the people around me are worldly people. Well, most of the people around me are worldly. Every single day I come across people that are lost. I know that they are lost. Its obvious by the way they are living their lives. And I wonder...and think how I use to be like them. I want to help. I want to share my faith with them, or just plant a seed. I just need to be more bold. And pray. I pray for boldness and I pray that God can be a part of my life each and every day. Give me the strength.
