Bible Verse: Psalm 46:1 God
is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
I was thinking about what I was scared of when I was 18.
When I was 18, I would laugh at what I used to be terrified of when I was 8.
And by the time you turn 37, the fears of your 18-year-old self might seem kind
of dumb. Here's the thing, what doesn't change is that there is always
something to be afraid of or worried about.
It's not that the things that scare us don't matter. Many of
them are real. The world is a dangerous place with lots of things that go wrong
all of them time. Here is the best part,
there's another thing that doesn't change no matter how old we get or
how smart we get. God is bigger than everything that scares us. Let's keep that
in focus for a bit. Some people think God is here just for the big stuff and
never rely on Him for any of the smaller things. He so desires to be your
resting places. God is our safe place. The refuge in which we're untouchable.
He's our strength! Stronger than any danger and he's ready to help in every
single moment.
If we can just realize that we belong to a God like that
should make our fear less powerful. I guess my question to you is. Does it? In
the battle between faith in a huge God and fear of terrible things, which one
usually wins in your heart? What kinds of things do you do to help or hurt
either side? Do me a favor, make a list of your top 3 current fears and then
write next to each of them, "God is bigger." Don't just write the
words, believe them! I pray you have a great day and God bless!
