I’m going to begin a series on trust, and what this means for us as Christians. This would be the first one.
There can be many causes of fear. My personal fears are being bold, and even more than that, a fear of losing the ones I care about and love. Sometimes, I get quite overcome by these fears. This is not what God want us to do. Paul reminds us to “be anxious about nothing.” So, in essence, being afraid is a sin against God, because fear is a lack of trust in Him. We must lean on Christ at all times, and trust that he will provide for us. He knows exactly what you’re going through, and if you cast your cares on Him, He will bless you, in whatever way is most pleasing to Him. The next time you’re scared or worried, pause and thank God for the circumstance or relationship, and ask Him to help you trust in Him, no matter what.
“Shall I take from your hand Your blessings, yet not welcome any pain? Shall I thank You for days of sunshine, yes grumble in days of rain? Shall I love You in times of plenty, then leave You in days of drought? Shall I trust when I reap a harvest, but when winter winds low, then doubt? Oh let Your will be done in me, in Your love I will abide. Oh I long for nothing else as long as You are glorified.”~Sovereign Grace Ministries, “As Long as You Are Glorified”
