“Do any of these individuals let doubt stand in their way or let fear curb their spirit? No way. Not for a split second.”

That is only a very short paragraph from “Mind over Matter” written by the editorial team of the magazine called THE RED BULLETIN (February 2011).

I am wide awake when I am reading about doubt and fear.

Two of the individuals and inspirational figures mentioned are Dan Atherton and  Conner Coffin. Dan Atherton is a “star of the world downhill mountain bike scene”. Conner Coffin is “just 18 and busy building a rep for surfing waves that scare rivals back to their beach huts”.

Inspirational figures!

I am challenged and that is good.

As a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ let I doubt stand in my way? Let I  fear curb my spirit? Can I say, “No way?’ Can I say, “Not for a split second?”

The BIBLE has a lot to say about doubt and fear.

Jude, the brother of Jesus says that we should be merciful with the doubters. James, also a brother of Jesus, says that the doubter is like a wave of the sea. When the Lord appears to his disciples he asks them, “Why do doubts rise in your minds?” When Jesus appears to Thomas he says, “Stop doubting and believe.”

The prophet Isaiah says again and again, “Do not fear.” In Matthew chapter ten the Lord sends out the Twelve and says “Do not be afraid.”

WHERE ARE THE SPIRITUAL INSPIRATIONAL FIGURES?
