I am afraid of the future and I am afraid of what will happen in the situation that I am currently facing. So many unanswered questions. But why am I truly afraid? What is the root issue.....?
Being afraid stems from a place of fear, which then tells me that I am lacking faith. So to put it in layman's terms: Being afraid= fearful of something= lack of faith.
But since I am a Believer, I am called to a live a life of no fear because God is love and He loves me. And because God is love, there is no fear in love, so therefore I should and can't live in fear. Perfect love (love found in God) drives out fear.
1 John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
Fear cripples. It stops us from experiencing all that God has planned for us. The faster I realize this, the faster I can activate my faith and stop being fearful and afraid of things to come.
My favorite verse is Psalms 56:3, "When I am afraid, I will trust You". So simple yet means the world to me. I am currently afraid=fearful of something, yet I am deciding to trust You ( activating my faith). Faith is a decision. It's not just this lofty term people throw around to sound spiritual, but it's truly a conscious effort as well as a heart decision we must make. We are declaring that whatever is going on, I am going to put my trust in God despite the situation. Without faith, its impossible to please God.
I've been reading Ecclesiastes as of late and there truly is a time and season for everything. A time to laugh, cry, dance, study, work, etc. and I am going through a season of trusting God. Not that we should not be trusting God all of the time, but particularly for me, I am going through a season of trusting God with everything I have.
I was thinking the other day and I was wondering why people are so afraid of the future and why I am as well. Why do we all have that gut wrenching feeling about something that has yet to happen? Why do some people feel queasy or nauseous just thinking about what has not even come to past yet?
Is not God with us right here in the present? Is He not watching over us day and night? Is He not right here with us guiding and directing our every footstep each and every day?.....
Then why would He not be there with us in the future? Why would God leave us then? He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
So that same God that is here for you today, will be there and have your back 10 years from now. He will fight you're battles today, tomorrow, and next week.
Because You're with me, I will not fear.
