“God has not called us to live in fear”
worthydevotions
“The
LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength
of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and
my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an
host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise
against me, in this will I be confident.” - Psalms
27:1-3
Two
hunters came across a bear so big that they dropped their rifles and ran for
cover.
One man
climbed a tree while the other hid in a nearby cave.
The
bear was in no hurry to eat, so he sat down between the tree and the cave to
reflect upon his good fortune.
Suddenly,
and for no apparent reason, the hunter in the cave came rushing out, almost ran
into the waiting bear, hesitated, and then dashed back in again.
The
same thing happened a second time.
When he emerged for the third time, his companion up the tree
frantically called out, "Woody, are you crazy? Stay in the cave till he
leaves!"
"Can't," panted Woody, "there's
another bear in there!"
Ever
feel like fear is giving us the run around?
Although
there are a lot of scary things going on in the world these days and perhaps
even in our own personal lives, God has not called us to live in fear.
He’s
has called us to stand strong in His confidence, knowing that He is in control!
He’s
called us to live lives full of power, love and a sound mind!
Dr. E. Stanley Jones said “I am inwardly fashioned for faith,
not for fear. Fear is not my native land; faith is. I am so made that worry and
anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil. I live better by
faith and confidence than by fear, doubt, and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my
being is gasping for breath -- these are not my native air. But in faith and
confidence, I breathe freely--these are my native air.”
Let's
say no to fear! Let’s determine to put our hope in the Lord once again today!
