Fear of the future? Fear of failure? Fear of death? Fear of rejection? Yes, fear comes in many forms. Do we have to continue to live in fear?
“There is no fear in love but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. “(1 John 4:18)
“I sought the Lord, and he heard me,and delivered me from all my fears.”
(Ps. 34:4) Fear doesn’t have to control us. God gives us the antidote for fear.
1. Remember His Perfect Love
2. Seek to Enjoy the Presence of God
3. Take your fears to the Lord.
Fear brings torment, but God is greater than any fear!
When I get afraid I often remember what someone else said. “Don’t tell God how big my problems are, tell those problems how big my God is!” Thanks for reminding me that we shouldn’t fear with a loving God guiding us.
Scott, thanks for the note and the quote. Truly, God is greater than our problems; yet our tunnel vision keeps us from seeing God’s greatness as we focus only on our problems.
