The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion – Proverbs 28.1
When all you’ve got is your own strength, wisdom, ability and energy you have to be careful – you could come up against something stronger, wiser and abler at any moment
When you’re dependent on the strength, wisdom, abilities and energy of God you can be bold because it’s all up to him and nothing you meet will be stronger, wiser and abler than him.
Yeah, it doesn't matter that my body isn't perfect and often doesn't work so well. It doesn't mean much that i'm not super smart, brave, strong or clever. What does matter is that i'm close to One who is all of those things and He's not afraid to use them. My job is to trust that He will.
