Don't Let Fear Interfere
by Steve Countryman I have to admit that it's easier said than done! When you are faced with more troubles and problems then you have ever faced before; trying to get your mind off of them can be a daunting task! Of course that's Satan's plan, to keep you staring and dwelling on your problems ALL the time. The more time you spend thinking about them the more fear will rise up in you and take over your life! That's when your circumstances reign and rule your life instead of allowing God to do so. Fear will grab your attention and keep you from doing those things that you would normally do everyday. Even the simplest of things seem to get pushed aside, put off or even forgotten about. Fear of what MIGHT happen can be as devastating as faith that can do the impossible! The Bible says 365 times not to be afraid or not to fear. That's one for each day of the year. I would say for God to list it that many times in His Word it must be important! If you think about it, fear can distract, detour and interfere with your life so that you become a useless Christian. Disabling you to the point that you only think of yourself and your problems while ignoring those around you including love ones and friends. That's when Satan wins which is sad considering he is a defeated foe! Too often we always take our problems to Father God as our last resort instead of our first resort! He is the answer to ALL of your problems if you will give Him a chance. Matthew 6:8 "for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." He will ALWAYS do what's best for His children who place their trust in Him! Troubles and problems plague everyone everywhere. What makes you different is that you serve a God who watches over you and takes care of you. Can you trust Him to handle your problems? Do you think He is MORE than capable of doing so? Ephesians 3:21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." I choose NOT to live in fear but to live in you Lord! So don't let your fear interfere with you blessing others and being a blessing to others. For you are the apple of your heavenly Father's eye who loves you! You represent His kingdom everywhere you are and everywhere you go everyday! Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
