Overcoming Fears

Do you know of anyone who lives their life in fear? I'm sure we all know someone right? In fact, we ourselves can be fearful at times.

If you find yourself living fearfully can I encourage you to start reading the Bible & begin trusting Gods Word? We should be following what Ephesians 6:11 says "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."

So many people allow their fears to paralyze them & keep them from living the lives they're meant to have. We allow the devil to play out the worse case scenarios in our minds and than we toss Gods Word out the window. Why are we are so quick to believe the lies Satan tells us? We are supposed to trust God to protect us & take care of us.

I know there are so many uncertainties with the virus that is spreading globally so I would like to share Gods word with you, as I believe we are all in need of His wisdom.

Proverbs 29:25

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

Friends, don't get me wrong I'm a firm believer is taking precautions, being mindful of our surroundings, using proper hygiene & cleanliness etc.

But I'm also a firm believer of not living in fear & refusing to allow the devil to control our lives with worry & fear.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

When fears arise, our challenge is to read Gods Word, which will help us overcome our fears.

Psalms 34:4

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
