Fear

It's an interesting day and age we live in. There are wars and rumors of wars. There are friends who are sick and some who have died, the loss of finances and jobs, and even airplanes that disappear. And yet we know that we do not have a spirit of fear. If we truly believe that we serve a God who cares then we have nothing to fear. I stand in agreement with Franklin D. Roosevelt when he said, "The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself.” He said those words in the midst of the great Depression and while facing the prospect of another great world war. Yet he knew that fear itself is our greatest enemy. The Bible says that God has not given us a spirit of fear but one of power, love and a sound mind. In these days of trouble we need power, love, and a sound mind. May we all see the fulfillment of this wonderful promise.
