Some fears are perfectly logical. For example, if you're faced with bandits, kidnappers (like the one currently in my community which has made quite a lot of residents to relocate), killer mobs about your faith stand, it makes sense to be afraid. You might wonder how you found yourself being surrounded by them but being afraid of them would be perfectly reasonable.
Other fears aren't so logical. Like fear of caterpillars or spiders. Even though we are bigger than them and can crush them, all we think about is those creepy little legs crawling up our arms. I know this fear is crazy.
Maybe you have a crazy fear too. May be you're afraid of heights or speaking in front of people(I used to have it, but not anymore). Just because your fear seems crazy doesn't mean you aren't afraid. But don't let fear keep you from experiencing everything God has planned for you. Sure there maybe bandits or killer mobs on the road, but don't miss out on the road trip. Don't miss out either- on riding the tallest roller-coaster ride, telling people about Jesus.
Today, I give the rest of my fears- crazy or not- to God. How about you? I assure you that He'll help you be brave. Tell Him: Lord, I don't want my fears- real or crazy- to keep me from all You have planned for me. I will trust You to help me be brave. The Lord will deliver you from all your fears in Jesus name. Amen.
Good Morning and a Pleasant Midweek
