Excerpt from my morning devotional---One of the greatest breakthroughs in modern psychology is the law of reversibility. It works like this: when you feel a certain way, you act accordingly. And when you dont feel like doing something but you do it anyway, that same dynamic creates the feeling consistent with your actions. Because fear is a learned response, it can be Unlearned. There are two kinds of courage. The first kind calls for action. Pres. Andrew Jackson said, take time to deliberate, But when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in. The second kind calls for patience; the tenacity to keep persevering after youve done your best and before youve seen results. When you run into intimidating situations, fear multiplies until eventually it controls your life. But when you tackle your problems head on, your confidence rises until you reach a point where youre no longer controlled by fear. God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. He plans His footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm. Yea fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds ye so much dread, Are big with Mercy and shall break in blessings on your head.
