Proverbs 20:25 Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God and only later counting the cost.

I question myself and my timid heart often about not been bold in influencing people people to accept Jesus as there Savior.  I seem bold at church and often wish I would have said more in personal  conversations.

With that confession I don't know where to place this scripture and my lingering feeling that in our Christian culture we often are good at creating moments for people to encounter God.  In those emotional moments people make "a rash promise to God."  Soon the emotion fades and the person feels trapped instead of redeemed.

When to be bold and when to make sure people consider the cost?  

Questions

Proverbs 20:24 The Lord directs our steps so why try to understand everything along the way?

I love my heart of wonder and question.  I believe God is not afraid of my questions! I doubt I will ever change that part of who I am.... but in my questions I have to keep trusting God.  I often pray - God, this is how I understand you and life at this point and from my perspective - but I realize YOU are so much bigger than I can fathom and your ways are so much greater than my ways!  I question but I trust YOU!

Fully

In fact we expected to die. As a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to to rely on only God, who raises the dead. 2 Corinthians 1:9 (NLT)

What have we faced or what will we have to face in the future th at will cause us to fully rely on God?
