Matthew 10:28
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Have you ever experienced adversity so strongly that it caused you to fear for your life?
We can all feel this way when we have little control over the circumstances in our lives. When we lose our jobs, our homes, our bank accounts or even when someone threatens us with a gun. We have no control over the situation and we fear that lack of control. No one person really has control, even the one with the gun, only God has it all under His control. Our biggest problem is letting Him have control over our lives.
We fear all the wrong things, people and circumstances, when we should fear God. This type of fear goes beyond just being afraid of what He can do, which is like our fear of people. He loves us and He wants us to listen to Him. This is reverent fear, respecting Him for who He is and what He has done for us. This takes having a relationship with Him.
What are you afraid of?
