10/11/09 – The Fear of the Future

People have a great amount of fear in their lives. It is a bully that scares, terrorizes and intimidates all those it can!  When this bully of fear moves into our lives, everything else moves out. Fear and happiness cannot dwell in the same place. Fear and vision cannot live together. Fear and confidence cannot co-exist. Fear deadens the soul and steals from us the life that God intends for us.

Far too many of us have given way too much ground and leniency to this bully! What if we could live fearless lives?  What if we could face up to it and confront it rather than run from it? What if we were to use the sword of the spirit and the shield of faith to cause this bully to flee from our lives? The word of God has clearly given to us the instructions and promises which can free us from this burden of fear. May we put our trust and hopes in the one who is faithful. May we choose to live in faith and anticipation of God’s provision and protection. Let’s turn to the one who can help us overcome our fears
