Scripture Challenge FEAR

Hey, everyone!

I am sharing my Scripture Challenge page today entitled Fear. When I saw the title my mind raced in so many different directions. I could talk about fear and what it does to a person when someone lets it rule their life. I could talk about a reverent fear we are to have for our LORD. I could even talk about not having fear, the absence of fear. I wasn't sure where to go with this. I heard my pastor say on Easter Sunday that there are 365 verses in the Bible telling us not to fear. That is one for each day of the year! Coincidence? I think not!

Fear is something that comes into your heart and either can dwell there and take over your life; paralyzing it's victims until nothing feels safe anymore. Fear is a feeling that can numb you to the core as you envision the worst possible scenarios. Fear is an awful, hopeless, helpless, depressing and oppressing emotion that when encouraged by others to grow will become something you may feel powerless to stop! The good news is that we don't have to fear! It's not something we are supposed to do! NO FEAR was a popular slogan when I was in school and it was plastered all over t-shirts, hats, notebooks, you name it. NO FEAR! As a Christian that should be our mantra!


I hope you can click on this photo to enlarge it. It was a pure DELIGHT, it was JOYFUL, to study the word "fear" in context of the scriptures. It is amazing how many scripture references there are and I am sure I had no where near all of them pulled up! The Word of God is so amazing that we can read it any day, any year, any time and no matter if life is great and going better than we could ever imagined, or if we feel like someone jerked the rug out from beneath us, we can still get something awesome, uplifting, encouraging and useful from it's text. That is power! That is fearless! That is amazing!

God bless you and remember Jesus said for us to not fear because He had overcome the world! 'Nough said!
