August 19 - The What Ifs
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 8:27 amGood Morning
The what IF is a constant battle with me. I can't say I even remember when I didn't battle with this. I found this verse of scripture this morning I would like to share with you.
"I sought the Lord and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears." (Psalms 34:4)
The what IF syndrome is based solely on fear. Fear that something will happen, Fear that someone will do something or not do something. The list can go on and on.
Fear like that is not of God. Satan wants us to live in fear. If we spend our time concentrating on our fears we won't accomplish anything that God wants to use us for.
What did David say in the scripture verse? He said that He sought the Lord and the Lord answered him and delivered him from all his fears.
That is the key. To tell our Lord our fears and ask for His deliverance.
Ask for God's peace.
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
God's peace is nothing like we have here on earth. It is nothing like we could ever achieve in ourselves. It only comes by prayer and confessing
all our fears to Him and giving them over to Him.
How often? David said God delivered him from ALL his fears.
Amen?
Love You all
