Don't Shrink Back

...but my righteous ones shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him. (Hebrews 10:38)

This verse says, "and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

Wow!

This verse is scary to me because so many times I have shrank back because of a lack of faith. So many times I have shrank back because of fear. Fear that someone will get offended if I tell them about Jesus. Fear that someone will get offended if I ask to pray for them. I have been disobedient to the clear voice of the Holy Spirit so many times.

Right when I read that verse it hit me like a mack truck. Right away I remembered specific things that God wanted me to do and say but I didn't.

Dear God, I don't want to shrink back anymore. I want to be one of your "righteous ones" who live by faith!
