Pro 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the
LORD shall be safe.
Fear prevents us from doing so many things in life. It prevents us from reaching
out to one that is lost, from doing a work on the mission field, or doing whatever
God has called you to do. When I think about this, it boggles my mind that we
Would allow fear to control us when we have Christ dwelling within us. 1Jn_4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he
that is in you, than he that is in the world. I have allowed fear to keep me from
praying with a friend when I knew that God was telling me very plainly to pray
with her. My friend was lost at that time and going through a really difficult time
and I was scared that by me asking if I could pray with her it would be hard on
her. (I sure can come up with some silly excuses). The result was later that same
night a preacher went to visit her and won her to the Lord. That could have been
me if I had not let fear control me. Psa 31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I
said, Thou art my God. This verse is how I want to live the rest of my life, fully
trusting and believing God. NO FEAR.
