Sarah Bessey  Sarah Bessey.com   Remember this day that your joy is rooted in the hope and confidence of our God. Jesus will return. God will not forsake us or forget us. God will never quit.

George Sand Hesitation.  In the Bible Hesitation appears 5877 times and usually it does not end well. There are dangers for those that hesitate.

"Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet.
