Draw closer to GOD

Here on Halloween Eve, there is no shortage of scary movies available for your viewing pleasure. Almost every channel is advertising, every ad on your homepage is providing listings, everywhere there is opportunity to see a horror movie. I know some people really like horror movies, I am not particularly a fan, and not for the reason you are probably thinking.

Horror movies do not usually "scare" me. Most of the time, horror movies are boring. They are gory, poorly acted, and predictable. It is always the jock that will look around and see four (4) of the folks they came with missing and say, "I'll go look for them." But, for some folks, horror movies really scare them. I have a verse for you, if you have something scaring you today.

Today's word is Psalm 56:3, ESV, which reads, "When I am afraid, I put my trust in You."

We have talked before that FEAR is just False Evidence Appearing Real. Often, we fear things that aren't real because our minds start telling us that what we see is real. It is easy to allow this to happen because of all the evil things we see in our world every day. There is absolutely no doubt that there are evil people committing evil deeds in our world each and every day. And, you don't have to watch a horror movie to see it, just watch the news. BUT...

But, when I am afraid, I draw closer to GOD. If I will concentrate on Him and His goodness, He will comfort me, remind me of His goodness, and allay those fears. So, today, and every day, we have nothing to fear. However, if you start to feel those pangs of fear rising, draw closer to GOD!

Be Blessed,
