Recently, I was chosen to be the speaker for our Sabbath school segment. The opportunity excited me because I had a lot to share!
I decided to create an outline for my talk instead of writing everything down. I practiced, and practiced until I had confidence to enter the church on Saturday.
I wasn’t afraid.
However, when it was my turn. My hands turned cold and my voice began to quiver.
I delivered my speech with…. a shaky voice. Definitely not what I was expecting. While I was up there, the temptation to cut everything short and just sit down, was strong.
But with God’s grace, I managed to persevere and finish it completely.
A shaky voice and a brave heart.
One might say they don’t match. They can’t.
I am hesitant to call myself brave as I don’t think I fit the criteria.
But God is my courage.
He is the brave one and He lives inside of my heart.
My flesh is weak but my spirit is willing.
The flashbacks of the moment makes me cringe yet I feel fulfilled for pushing through even if I was afraid.
One brave step at a time can go a long way.
Will you choose to be brave today even if your voice quivers?
