FEAR
2 Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Proverbs 29:25
“Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. “
Galatians 1:10
“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
Lloyd Ogilvie:
“Secure in God’s love, I will not surrender my self-worth to the opinions and judgments of others. When I am rejected, I will not retaliate; when I am hurt, I will allow God’s love to heal me. And knowing the pain of rejection, I will seek to love those who suffer from its anguish.”
My greatest fear is that I will always live in the shadow of my sins. Pastor Craig asked the question this weekend who are you putting your trust in…money or God. For me though the question could be asked…”who are you putting your trust in…your fears, people, or God.” I long for FREEDOM!!!! Freedom from these fears and insecurities!!!! They haunt me.
