How fear leads to confidence.

Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭25:12‬ ‭ESV‬

I have a few favorite podcasts I listen to. I don’t miss a single show. Sometimes, I listen to them more than once.

Why? 

The shows are filled with information to help me grow as a writer and entrepreneur.

If I don’t listen to the show, it is like refusing to hear what can help me.

Why would I turn my back on such useful tools?

Even when a show title does not speak to my writing journey, I listen. For fear of missing what I do need to know keeps me tuned in.

I trust these podcasts to give good and correct information.

Do you have fear of missing out in an area of your life?

Do you want the owner’s manual?

Fearing God can help, like fearing losing instructions to build a complex model.

Fearing God seems so passe in our generation, but…

-If I don’t follow legal guidelines on my site, I can be fined.

-God’s word can teach you how to avoid lawsuits.

-I have to be bold and honest when writing. Otherwise, I could put you to sleep.

-God encourages boldness in speaking the truth…with love.

Seeking good advice in life:

Do you search for good advice? For help with decisions?

I know I can’t do this without him.

Where do you need God’s council most right now? Please share in the comments.

His council promises sound advice. The fruit of following it is confidence.

PS Another bible version says the same thing a bit differently: My question: What are God-worshipers like? Your answer: Arrows aimed at God’s bull’s-eye.
