Finding Nemo

I'm watching Finding Nemo & getting a valuable lesson out of it - face your fear.

When the dad has a mission (finding Nemo) he is willing to face his greatest fear of the deep ocean. He faces many small fear along the way but is always moving forward out of a greater need to find his son. The need to complete his mission outweighed his fear. Great lesson here to be learned when pursuing God's plan.

When God's purpose for your life outweighs any fear we have of "the great unknown" we can go through anything. Even when facing those fear we may be totally freaked out in the process but we are driven out our desire to accomplish to purpose.

Towards the end the dad gets swallowed by a whale thinking he's about to die. But then lets go and the whale brought him to where he was trying to go. Sometimes when it looks the worst, or the scariest, we are actually one step away from exactly where we are supposed to be.

The Lord said to Joshua right after Moses died and before they entered the Promised Land, "Be strong and courageous..."

God always knows when we are going to need a pep talk - so he gives it to us right before we need it. Is God asking you to be strong and courageous? Trust Him to lead you exactly where you need to be. I know I am.
