There are times when even though we know what needs to be done, we are still hesitant to do the things we know we should. At such times, it is always good to have someone by our side who is willing to encourage us, someone who believes in us, someone who can cheer us on.
Isaiah speaks today of one such moment in his own life, when he heard the Lord encouraging him to Go ... let not your courage fail (Is 7:3-4). This is the mark of a true leader: the ability to recognize potential in others and to encourage them until they themselves can believe in their own possibilities. Our God is so good that He always sees what we are capable of. He knows what we can do and he believes in us.
If today we are feeling unsure of ourselves, if today we have reason to doubt, perhaps we should ask the Lord to encourage our hearts so that we can set out on the journey knowing that we are never alone, but rather that he is always with us, seeing what we are capable of even if we ourselves are unsure of our own capabilities.
Have a great day.
