Doubt Camp
Doubt Camp
Recently I’ve been spending a lot of time in Doubt Camp. I haven’t quite been able to leave and it’s become my default over the last few weeks – to the point I wondered about setting up a permanent lodgings!
I took a promotion at work a few weeks ago. With it I got a new office, a new team and new responsibilities! However the workload is a challenge to say the least. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve caught myself with my hand on the ‘phone, ready to make the call to THE BOSS telling him it’s all been a big mistake and he’s got the wrong man.
Each time though something’s caught me as I started to dial his internal number.
Today, as I went to make that call I remembered the verse in 2 Timothy I’d read this morning downing my coffee in the kitchen. It says: “For God has not given you a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline!”
God’s not made me to shy away and hang out in Doubt Camp but to rise up and take hold of this. I am the best man for the job! Definitely easier said than done but I’m going to write that verse on a post it note and stick it to my computer screen for the next time I’m ready to chuck it all in.
