Being Afraid


I guess there is nothing in our lives that is more debilitating than the fear of the unknown. It has changed our lives and has changed the course of history. It is funny how people flirt with the fear of the unknown to prove that they aren’t afraid. The extreme sports are a real example of this. It is taking risk that go beyond reasonable. You they are flirting with death itself. They to prove that they are invincible. The whole effort again is to prove that there is no God. And that we are really God. It is as foolish as trying to stop a fast train with your bare hands. The only proof that you will receive is your death and that God is real. Being afraid is part of who we are. God gave this to us for a very specific reason. He did it to keep us alive. It is called the fight or flight response. It is important in our development as a human being. We aren’t to let fear control our lives. We are to use it as a tool in our arsenal of life. God has provided many tools for us to use. Many we just take for granted and abuse them. But these tools are for us to use in our path home to God. As it says in the bible that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And I need all the wisdom I can get to live in this world. So, use His tools correctly and live the life planned by God. I guarantee, I should say that God will guarantee, that if you do, you will find your way home to God.
