Fear is a funny thing. It can be extremely paralyzing. In His Word, God calls us to not fear. Before NA 08, I really felt God calling me to give my fear to him. He’s been laying his hand on this issue in my heart and I really hope to grow in this over the next couple of months. Two truths that God has given me to cling to (and that I hope to memorize) are:

2 Timothy 2:7: For God gave us not a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

and

1 John 4:18: There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.

While at NA, God also reminded me of his faithfulness. Look at all he has saved me from!! He has always been there for me, He has never let me down, so why do I not have cause to trust Him?

As God calls me to follow him in this short journey called life, I have to be aware of the fact that he will ask me to do hard things for his name’s sake, but I have to be even more aware of the fact that he will be with me every step of the way, that his grace will carry me, that he will never give me more than I can handle, that he WILL be faithful to me.

How amazing is it that we have a sovereign God!?!
