(December 7, 2014)
I admit
that I know very little of bravery – fear is a pretty debilitating thing for me
for a number of reasons – but the only way that I know to get past my fear is
through faith in Christ. It was with
this in mind that I was struck by the language that the wicked flees when no
one approaches.
Having
lived in sin, I know that the fear is constant whether I am living well or
living poorly. But when I was enmeshed
in sin my capacity to deal with the fear was almost completely gone. I still face many of the same fears today, but
I find myself now able to turn towards them and work through them rather than
flee from them. Some of them are, to be
honest, just as bad as I thought they were – it isn’t a situation where there
was nothing to be afraid of after all – but I am able to deal with the negative
consequences, work through things in the proper way, and that is so much more
satisfying as a mechanism for dealing with fear.
