Today is Day 16 of the Positivity Scripture Challenge
“Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.”
Proverbs 12:17 CSB
Speaking has always made me nervous. I think it makes a lot of us nervous but is there anyone who doesn’t get nervous about public speaking?
I use to never want to be the one who spoke up. I was saved at a 13 but was never a confident girl. So speaking about God’s Word or my faith was something I wanted to do but like some of us we hide it in a compartment in our lives and don’t speak up much about it. I mean when we aren’t confident in an area we usually aren’t the first ones to jump up to speak.
As the years have passed and with the Holy Spirits guidance in my life, wisdom from the Word of God has filled me with Christ confidence to speak about God’s love for me and how He changes us.
For years I lived in bondage to shame of my past sins, I knew I was forgiven but still couldn’t get beyond the lies of shame and guilt. I wasn’t good enough to do the job God has given me. I wasn’t equipped. I was a terrible person for the things in my past. These are the lies I would replay in my mind.
The lies I heard kept me quiet. I wanted to be hidden and it seen. When I went through a time of prayer for one my children was when I realized God had a purpose for me that I wasn’t fulfilling. I saw God work in my life because I was praying for my child. I was praying for change in him but Jesus changed me!
I believe God is working in our lives everyday and speaking Truth and believing God changes everything.
So today I am a woman who wants you to know we can have the confidence to speak up for Christ when we are grounded in the Word. Dig deep into the Word and daily you will grow wisdom and be watered by the living water, Jesus Christ.
One thing that I know is that God calls us to a purpose. It is as a Christ follower to share about His great love, forgiveness and the salvation we have through Jesus Christ.
Blessings friends!
