When The Winds Blow
Live again from the driving ranges of the Midwest…covered with snow and the coldest winds that could ever possibly hit you. It truly does takes your breath away. Am I complaining? No, I love the snow, the winds I could do without, I’ll tell you a secret, I have always been fearful of the wind blowing. Now as an adult I do much better but it’s only because I give all of that fear to God. I know that’s funny…………………… because now I live where tornadoes do strike. I’m giving that to God too.
Fear is a dripping paralyzing force making you visualize things that will never happen. It causes you to take your focus off of the vision God intends and you start believing a lie. Maybe like thinking you need an auto insurance quote and you don’t even own a car.
What’s the opposite of fear? Probably faith, and who’s my faith in, certainly not myself….I can’t do all things, but in Christ I can do all things. I know I’m getting sidetracked but fear is terrible thing and I keep in my heart that God did not give up the spirit of fear.
O my soul, trust in the Lord!
