Fearless-Factor - Zechariah 4:10

Fear of Failure, it affects us all. Are you afraid to fail? Failure is a difficult situation to face. We all have dreams that we want to aspire to, but what holds us back? Fear. Fear can hold a man to his seat. Fear can cause the greatest idea to die in the mind. How many great things have been thought of, but never experienced due to fear? Failure is not always a bad thing. Without failure we wouldn't have the light bulb. The first light bulb Thomas Edison made only lasted 40 hours. Were this was not a failure it was not a success either to Edison and he continued to work on it for another year until he made it last 1200 hours. In 1991, Philips invented a bulb that lasts 60,000 hours. Where was the failure. There isn't one if you consider that each bulb got better over the years. The bulb went from 40 to 60,000 hours in 100 years. This is a success! We just live in a instant gratification society. One Failure and you are a failure. The same goes for going after the Purpose God places in front of you. There may be obstacles and road bumps that cause us to fail in our eyes but if we learn from the mistake we can move forward. We are all imperfect and we will make mistakes. It is how we learn from the mistake that makes it a success. Be encouraged to keep trying. Soon you will see the light bulb in your life grow from a 40 hour bulb to an eternity bulb in Christ. Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord what ever you do, and your plans will succeed." The Fearless-Factor for today is Zechariah 4:10 "Who has hated the day of small things?" Don't be afraid of small beginnings. Failure is not a failure if you continue on in your work. Be Encouraged. Don't be afraid to learn from your mistakes it is what gives us wisdom. Be Fearless and Quiet No More. Your Brother in Christ,Trey Ore
