Good morning! How are we faithing? Events happen to us and sometimes we get afraid. Fear can become our enemy. Healthy fear is one that keeps us from running red lights. Unhealthy fear makes us paranoid. Believe me when I tell you we all experience both. How do we deal with fear? By remembering who we are and who our strength comes from. Trauma causes fear. Our imagination causes fear. Playing the "what if" card is good for safety awareness but when it moves into paranoia or the place where we can't function it opens up a dangerous door for the enemy. Paying attention to our surroundings isn't necessarily fear but wisdom because lets face it, it's a strange world we occupy due to the introduction of sin. The point I am trying to make is even though it is hard not to fear sometimes it is very important that we keep perspective so we rely on God and his wisdom and not let the evil we face overcome us.
Rom_8:15
For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Rom_8:15
For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
2Ti 1:7
For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.
1Jn 4:18
There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Rev 15:4
Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest.
