The Word:
FEAR/TRUST/OBEY
Psalm 56:3
What time I am afraid, I will trust Thee!
Today I want to talk about fear...What are you afraid of? There are many different answers to such a question - some its the fear of losing control (and yet none of us have it!) The fear of the dark is common among children but it may surprise you that many Adults also fear the dark - then there is the fear of heights - that one really kicked into high gear when I went to a place in North Carolina called Chimney Rock - I climbed 500+ steps to the top and the view was awesome - but I stayed away from the end - Fear is something we all deal with - but what we do with it determines where we put our trust - you see fear and trust go together hand and hand - and if you fear - you may not be trusting the Lord like you should - however sometime God puts fear in us to keep us safe -sometimes fear is not a bad thing - one example is me and speeding - I admit sometimes I speed (when I am late for work - but that does not excuse it) but I am scared to speed much - I will go maybe 5-10 over at times - sorry but being honest! But the fear keeps me from doing something really stupid! When we fear things that God says He will take care of -we lack faith - Ive had to come to this conclusion and it was hard to face but none the less true - when we trust in the LORD -we know HE will take care of us -and of those things we have need of - lets put our fear of anything but God out of our minds - and just relax and trust the Lord - When we trust Him completely then we will obey Him -
All three go together- Are you fearful of something God is able to take care of? Maybe its a lack of faith! We all fear things but God is in control!
When we fear - let's trust and then obey!
The Final Word:
If we have fear in our heart -maybe we need to ask JESUS to take it away!
CHRIST eases our fears!

Jesus said "Fear Not" Many times - maybe we should listen to HIM!
