"Do not be afraid of sudden fear nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught." Proverbs 3: 25-26
Fear is one, if not the worst emotion one can have. The feeling of fear is aweful and so many things can evoke fear in our lives. Some fear is good. If you are hiking in the mountains and come upon a bear, I suggest you do not attempt petting the bear and talk about how cute he his. This type of fear can save your life by telling your brain to get out of these woods!
When we make decisions based on fear, it nearly always results in a bad decision and makes our situation even worse. Although there are times when we question why God would allow bad things to happen, we must understand that God is God and He is in control. We shall never understand the things God does through our finite minds. We are instructed to trust and obey. That takes all the pressure off of me and put into the hands of our Heavenly Father.
When things happen in our lives to cause fear, place your problems at the feet of our Heavenly Father and ask for the Peace of God to calm our spirit before making any decisions. A peaceful mind with clear direction will always be the right decision!!
Take a friend to hear the good news in church tomorrow!!
