I was talking to a friend this weekend and he stated that he had read this book which had a great message about fear. One big message in this book was, when faced with a life decision that brings you fear – you should run straight toward the fear and adress it head on!
Since I am a closet thinker it wasn’t untill later in the day when this concept really spoke to my life. In my processing I thought that is EXACTLY what we should do with fearful situations. As soon as we allow fear to stop us from a situation it’s giving the enemy a foothold on us. Now let me clarify I am not talking about ‘jumping off a cliff’ situation that is natural fear. I am talking about spiritual fear. Situations where the Lord is leading us to do something and we don’t do it because we allow the fear to stop us.
As he continued to talk about running to fear he mentioned David and Goliath. How David stood right up to Goliath and KNEW with God on HIS side nothing would win against God. Yes, how many times have we heard that story – yet it still rings true in our lifes.
Running toward Fear – that may just be my new anthem!!
