We Fear ...

1/27/2022

0 Comments

 
“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go…We will do whatever you command us, and we will go wherever you send us.”  Joshua 1:9, 16

​... When we lack trust.  "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;" (2 Timothy 1:7).  Fear is a human condition based on our inability to fully trust.  We are scared of the dark because we don't trust that the evil clown is not there.  We are scared of public speaking because we don't trust our ability to speak well and we don't trust that the audience will show us grace if we mess up.  We fear death because we don't trust that God will take care of us after we die.  We fear life because we don't trust that God will take care of us before we die.

Lord, help me to trust more so I fear less.

Run, Pursue, Fight, Hold,

"But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses."  1 Timothy 6:11-12

A life of faith in Jesus is not a passive activity. We can't wait for God to act in our life.  We must be proactive and intentional in order to receive all that God has for us..

Lord, help me to be active in following You

“But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”  Mark 10:43

Heart STatus!

“…Whoever is greatest among you should become like the youngest and whoever leads, like the one serving. For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving?”  Luke 22:26-27

God doesn't care about worldly status.  He cares about the status of our heart.

Lord, thank You for the blessings You have bestowed on me and help me to support and care for those who may be in more difficult circumstances.

“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.”  James 1:22

​Amen!

Because of Something You did!

“Then Jesus wept.”  John 11:35

​
A little boy who often made bad choices asked his dad, "Daddy, why is it raining?"  The dad responded, "Those are God's tears".  The boy asked confused, "Why is God crying?"  The dad replied, "Probably because of something YOU did."  Obviously rain is not God's tears but He does care about us enough that He hurts when we make bad choices that hurt ourselves.

Lord, thank You for loving me and help me to realize that You hurt when I hurt.

Hurry Up, and WAIT!

“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.”  James 1:19

​
What does patience look like?  Listening, watching our words and showing restraint.

Lord, help me to show patience by listening better, speaking less and demonstrating some self-control.

It's The Law!

“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!” Matthew 5:43-44

Laws exist to manage human behavior (or misbehavior).  We have laws to help us to do things we should do or to avoid doing things we shouldn't do.  Jesus doesn't make laws.  Instead, He informs us on how to be better humans and how to live better lives.

Lord, help me to realize that I don't always do what is correct and that I need someone to tell me when and where in life I can be better.

Seasoning!

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”  Ecclesiastes 3:1

"Now" doesn't mean "forever" and "No" doesn't mean "never".  Sometimes a "no" is "not yet" and "Now" is simply a period of time that will pass.

Lord, thank You for seasons and help me to have patience and perspective.

Not Good Enough!

“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.”  Ephesians 2:8-9

How "good" is "good enough"?  Most likely more "gooder" than we will ever be.  

Lord, thanks for saving me so I don't have to save myself ... from myself.
