DO NOT FEAR
YESTERDAY MY FRIEND AND I ENTERED A SHOP AND WAS MET BY A YOUNG GIRL WHO SEEMED TO BE VERY GENUINELY HAPPY. WE NOTED A PICTURE ON THE COUNTER OF ANOTHER YOUNG GIRL IN A HOSPITAL BED. WE STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS AND WERE INFORMED THAT THIS WAS THE 25 YEAR OLD SISTER OF THE YOUNG GIRL. SHE WENT ON TO SAY HER SISTER HAD SARCOMA ALL OVER HER BODY, BUT THEY WERE HOPEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR SO MUCH.
I COULD NOT GET THIS PICTURE OUT OF MY MIND. THIS MORNING I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU MY THOUGHTS. FEAR IS BLOCKED OUT BY HOPE AND THANKFULNESS; HOPE IN GOD AND THANKFUL FOR WHAT WE DO HAVE.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DO WHEN THINGS DON’T GO OUR WAY OR GET OUT OF CONTROL IS: BLAME & TALK, FEAR AND PANIC, DOUBT AND FIGHT, AND RUN.
THE WORD TELLS US: DO NOT FEAR, BE STILL AND LET GOD WORK, AND WATCH GOD MOVE.
IN EXODUX 12 & 14, WE ARE REMINDED OF HOW FEARFUL AND TERRIFIED THE ISRAELITES WERE BECAUSE OF THE WICKED RULER AND THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY BLAMED MOSES BECAUSE THEY WERE FEAR, FULL OF DOUBT AND WANTED TO RUN BACK INTO SLAVERY.
GOD SPOKE AND TOLD THEM TO: NOT BE AFRAID, STAND FIRM AND WATCH GOD MOVE IN THEIR BEHALF. EXODUS 14:13 & 14
THERE IS NO DOUBT THERE IS NOTHING MORE FEARFUL THEN SARCOMA, BUT WE LEFT THE SISTER WITH OUR PRAYER SUPPORT AND A CARD FOR HER SISTER: www.encouragingwomentoday.blogspot.com FOR ENCOURAGEMENT. SHE WAS THRILLED FOR THE ADDED ENCOURAGEMENT FROM COMPLETE STRANGERS.
YOU MAY BE FEARFUL TODAY BECAUSE OF YOUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES. REPLACE THE FEAR AND DOUBT WITH GOD AND HOPE.
A Prayer for you to repeat and accept:
Dear God: We come to you with our fear, doubt and direction. Our circumstances are hard; we are broken, hurt and confused. Realizing that You major in brokenness, healing and direction, we accept your healing in our broken spirit. We have run from you and the situation, we want to go back and allow You to be God in spite of who we are or what we’ve done. Forgive us for our unbelief. Give us strength and hope to accept you and your will for our lives today. Thank you for the provisions that are available to us today. Send someone into our lives that will encourage us.
In Jesus Name, AMEN
