After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward. (Genesis 15:1 NIV)

1. Choose faith not fear.

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin (Romans 14:23 NLT)

2. God will defend your dream

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; (Revelation 12:11 NIV)

3. Your dream is not your reward.

I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. 11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. (Psalm 16:8-11 NIV)

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? (Mark 8:36 NIV)
