He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” Psalm 91:1-2
Although we would like to think that we don’t have any fear or anxiety as believers, if that were really true, we wouldn’t need God. We could just face a crisis without Him.
With the uncertainties of life, it is easy to allow fear to creep in unchecked. Days like today, when we are threatened by certain disastrous storms, the question is not do you fear, doubt, dread or even worry.
The real question is, “What am I doing with the fear that comes into my life?” After all, fear can creep into our life and wrap itself around our mind and heart. This can happen so subtly that we don’t recognize how anxiety has affected our faith. Ultimately, if fear goes unchecked in our lives, we will miss God’s best for us because apprehension will keep us from stepping out in faith to do His will.
Unless it is entrusted to God, a single fear can easily rule over us and we become indecisive, worried we will make the wrong choice.
Psalm 91 is a great source of reminding us of our “refuge and fortress.” God wants us to trust Him especially when things seem to be out of control.
During a time of the unknown and uncertainty, if fear takes over your life, ask God to help you make an honest assessment of where fear is holding you back in your life and faith.
As the storms approach, remember that there is nothing too big or small for God to handle.
