Job 3:25 (NLT) 25 What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true.
Overcoming fear is one of the greatest obstacles in a Christian’s life. It seems that I am constantly dealing with this not only in my own life but in the lives of others. It is a tool that Satan has used to halt your Christian growth and to make you ineffective in your walk with Christ. Job stated what we often feel. We take a negative thought and turn on the switch in our brain that keeps thinking about that thought over and over again. It is what we think about at night and it is what floods your mind during the day. Philippians 4:8 teaches us how to counteract this by saying: “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” We are to” fix” (set) our thoughts on that which is true and right and holy, etc. We are to “think” upon excellent things. You don’t have to walk in fear today. You don’t have to live with the dread of tomorrow. Put your eyes on Christ today and let Him show His plans for your life and not the devil’s. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
