What holds you back from your freedom??

The other day I was listening to a podcast from Mosaic Ministries by Erwin McManeus and he said this, "Whatever we fear, establishes the boundaries and limitations of your life. Our fears limit and determine our freedom."

As I got to thinking about it throughout the day, I realized how true this is. How often is it that my fears hold me back from experiencing my freedom. I have freedom. I am free. But do I choose to live in that freedom, or do I allow my fears to hold me back from my freedom. Do I let my fears establish the boundaries of walking in my freedom?

What about the fear of the Lord? If I have the fear of the Lord, the boundaries and limitations of my life would be much different than my fear of bridges. My fear of bridges, limits me from crossing bridges. But my fear of God would mean my freedom would be only limited by God.

My challenge for myself this week is to not let my earthly fears hold me back, instead I want to focus all my fear on God and stand knowing and trusting that He is in control!

That's all I got to say. =)
