T-R-Y

It is easy to just decide not to do something because it is a little scary. For instance, a friend is doing something you know they shouldn't do and you have a decision to make..."Do I tell them to stop or go along with them and possibly get in trouble?"

Isaiah 35:4 helps us understand what to do. Do not fear, so don't worry about what your friend might say. Be brave, God will come. God will be by your side when you stand up for what is right.

(Mark 10:46-52) Blind Bartimaeus understood what none of the other beggars understood when Jesus came near. He understood that Jesus was near. His understanding that God had COME caused him to make a big racket until Jesus stopped and healed him. We don't hear about any other beggars being healed at this time. I think they did not understand that God had come.

We can also be this way... if we focus on our fears, we will not understand that God has come. God promises to come, so, be brave and do not fear, do the right thing.
