Each
day can be a test to see if fear has impacted your decisions or destiny. Fear
can have a positive influence as Psalm 111:15 declares, "Fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom." Psalm 19:9 states that "Fear of the Lord
is pure, enduring forever." The Psalmist sees fear of the Lord as a guiding
light that provides a sense of safety and well-being.
At the other end of the spectrum are
individuals who submit to a type of fear that diminishes the joy God intends
for them to experience. We humans have the capacity to project ourselves into
situations that can be crippling. Fear can stifle our creativity and overwhelm
the purpose God designed for us.
Instead
of yielding to destructive fear, say to yourself, "I am a child of God! He
has given me the Holy Spirit to guide and direct my path.” Abraham obeyed God’s
calling to become a man of faith, to stand firm and claim the opportunities He set
before him. God will bless and help you.
