Defeat Fear

"I am with you continually, so don't be intimidated by fear. Though it stalks you, it cannot harm you, as long as you cling to my hand." Sarah Young This four letter word seemed to have a reoccurring theme today...DEFEAT. We spend so much time voluntarily held hostage by fear, to uncertain that if we take off the shackles that we struggled to place ourselves in and just unlock the door that we've closed ourselves behind with the key that's hanging right in arms reach; we might actually figure out that fear is just playing with our mind. Pick your favorite game or ride, maybe hop scotch or the merry-go-round either way we've let fear come along for the ride just a moment too long. What's the harm in trying a new game, one where we pick our team. Instead of Fear making all the rules, how about we trust God to lead. There is no reason to imagine the view from behind bars when all we have to do is declare defeat and walk right out into God's arms. Imaging teaming up with someone that will never let you go. Willing to hold your hand as you stand on his word trusting that all of your troubles will encounter defeat, if we only believe that he is greater than fear.
