[The Glory Unveiled]
For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me. ( Job 3:25 )
There are many people who would recline in the arms of fear for solace from fear—imagine the irony—but that is what we do most of the time. Whatever we are afraid of lords over us. And it is given the power to manipulate us because fear has the power to create just as faith has creative powers too. Job said, what he greatly feared had come upon him and the reason why this became his reality was because fear attracts distractions and destruction. Another falsehood is trying to use fear as a vehicle to draw to the knowledge of God. Out of fear of something, we sometimes turn to God but the book of Hebrews captures in chapter eleven verse six how we can please God. Fear does not please God but faith. Fear causes us to go ahead of God. It drives us to tryout something before God’s appointed time is due. Fear suggests that we do something “smart” because God has given us a brain full of cells and tissues. But faith instructs that we wait on God’s word in spite of our strength and abilities. So let’s be reminded that the things we greatly fear are almost at our door if we don’t quit fear.
Prayer_Bead: Father Lord, thank you for your word. Thank you for not giving me a spirit of fear but love, sound mind and power. And so I drown my fears in the word of your grace.
