Fragile Fear

Why is it that we so often forget how fragile life is? Why do we always expect another day, another chance? Why do we think we're so invincible? Recently, I've been reminded to take each day for the blessing it is. We're not guaranteed tomorrow, in fact, we're told over and over again in God's word that we're here for a moment, then gone. Forgotten. Sure there will be the few that remember us for a generation or two, but the dust settles, and life on earth continues with the children of tomorrow.

So why do we worry so much about our work, our house, our job (or lack thereof), our drama? Why are we so afraid of the opportunities that lie before us? Why is it that in some circumstances we freeze, unable to go into action? Because fear is a very, very powerful emotion. It can prevent us from experiencing life to the fullest. It has the ability to make the most powerful man in the world turn into a pile of mush at the site of unpararelled heights.


But what we need to remember is that our God is bigger than our fears. He's bigger than the mountains we ve to climb. He's more able to provide ways out of every situation we may ever face. And He'able to bless us exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ever imagine. Our only problem is that we don't let him take the fear. We hold onto it for dear life, like it's some sort of security blanket. We need to hold onto our job, our friends, our house, our spouse, our church, our everything - because we know better than God what's right. We want what we want and if we don't get it we're angry. In essence, we're selfish because we think we can do better for ourselves than the Creator of the universe.
 
So how do we start by trusting God with every fear, every worry, every heartache and pain in our lives? And how do stop living our lives for the unknown tomorrow and start living for the gift of today? Surrender. Complete and utter surrender to the one and only. It means getting on our knees daily, hourly, and sometimes everyinute just to refocus our hearts on His plan, guidance, and care. Let God into the fears... He will meet you and restore confidence in you. Let God take care of tomorrow. And don't let another day go by without telling those you love that you love them. Don't let another day go by without fighting for what you know is right. Don't let another moment go by without surrender and the peace of freedom.


He meets you anywhere, everywhere - all you have to do is ask.

Who will you love?
What will you fight for?
Where will you go?
When will you go after the dreams?
How about today?
