A couple of years ago there was a reality TV show that was called "Fear Factor." There were people that would come on the show and they would have to face fearful situations. How many realize that life is full of Fear Factors. Every day we are confronted with things that challenge our FEAR or challenge our FAITH!
There are too many people that are overwhelmed with fear! Some fears are rational, (fear of heights, fear of closed places, fear of snakes, fear of public speaking, etc.) We all battle some kind of fear like this. However, there are other fears that are totally destructive. There are people that are afraid of leaving thier homes, fearful of sunlight, fearful of working, and these kinds of fear can ruin a person's life. Some fears keep people from being able to function in real life.
Fear is a powerful and destructive thing. Fear can paralyze our lives, ruin relationships, rob us of being able to make decisions, and even overwhelm our faith in Christ.
When you are faced with overwhelming fear - turn to God's Word:
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, and the mountains quake with their surging.
Whatever fear is overwhelming your life - surrender that fear to the Lord and trust Him in your situation!
Our God is a faithful God!
Now more then ever we are faced with fear as jobs,money,securitty ect. all seem to disapear.We need our trust in God. trusting God doesn't mean we can always keep the new car or the home we love.Some times we do loose the things we cherish most because of situations beyond our control.It is in these times more then ever we need to trust in God so that all we loose is things and not our faith in Him.
