No Fear

I watch our kids who seem to be oblivious to danger and who seem to live without fear. To say they are daredevils would be a huge understatement. But, it's not just with daredevilish things, they dance like no one is watching and sing like no one is listening. They, at this moment, have no apprehensions or inhibitions, which is refreshing and thought provoking.

I wonder at what time did we begin to recognize our surroundings and squelch our outward expressions. I wonder when we became aware that others were watching, and that they sometimes make fun of folks who so freely express themselves. When did we become fearful?

Today's word is one I am sure I used before but it is Hebrews 13:6, NASB, which reads, "The LORD is my Helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

Life is tough enough without having to live in fear. There's nothing to be afraid of because GOD is on our side, He goes before us, and He has our back. That sounds to me like He is all around us. If GOD is all around us, no one can get to us - there is nothing to fear.

The flip side of that is if you don't know GOD as your LORD and SAVIOR. If that is the case, you probably fear a lot of things. However, GOD is Love, and the Bible tells us that perfect love casts out fear. If you're a child of GOD, you have nothing to fear. Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Live with NO FEAR!

Be Blessed,
