Fear

"Say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you." Isaiah 35:4 (NLT)

     The greatest obstacle to progress is fear. Fear of the unknown cripples us from fulfilling our destiny in life. It also, prevents us from living a life of faith, because fear is self-centered and not God-centered.

      When these fearful moments start to grip us we must remind ourselves in whom we have believed (God). Start to think about all the obstacles you have already overcome and how in the end it all worked out, because once you gave up control God took over and brought out the best outcome possible.

       The road to your deliverance may not be laced with rose petals and dandelions, but be sure that every adversity you face along the way conspires together for your benefit. Romans 8:28 states, "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." So do not fear, instead trust that God is coming to take care of you wherever you may find yourself, and most importantly keep moving forward.

-Amen
