Fear itself

The famous quote is that fear itself is the only thing to fear. The fear of fear? What is the fear of fear? It is anxiety, worry, and other paralyzing feelings. It is what happens when we let the thought of things that this world might do to us take over. Not the things that are really happening, but those that could. Seems silly doesn't it. It is very serious though. We can deal with the things of this world, but we often seem helpless dealing with our thought life. Remember, if you are a Christian, you have the Spirit of Christ dwelling in you. Paul wrote to Timothy with these words; "For God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind.". The cure? Remember Christ dwells in you, He has given you power over all attacks, act out your love for your neighbor and this will keep you from being idle and thinking fearful thoughts, and remember, spend time in the Word of God so that you can put off those sinful thoughts, and put on thoughts of God, and His will for your life.
