Psalms 46:1-3 -- On Fear

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah."
Psalms 46:1-3


I like the idea of not fearing, even if the earth is removed... now *that* is fearlessness. :)  And you know, scary things happen, and more are prophesied in the scriptures, so maybe we'll face mountains being carried to the sea someday or something equally scary.  The point is though that God is our safety and because of him, we don't need to fear.

Today, let's try to remember to turn to God with our fears rather than letting them build up, both impacting our lives and spilling out into our behavior and relationships.  If we practice trusting God and having confidence in his will being done, a lot of our anxieties will lessen, and I think we'll find that we are a lot less impatient and a lot more peaceful as we focus on things that aren't out of our control.  He's got this. :)
