Psalm 55:4-5 (New Living Translation)
4 My heart pounds in my chest. The terror of death assaults me. 5 Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can’t stop shaking.
Yesterday at lunch, a co-worker and I were discussing how the sight of cockroaches literally causes of to freeze dead in our tracks. No matter what we are doing, the sight of such a small creature has the power to completely immobilize us. She even told me that at 8 months pregnant she fell down some stairs, trying to avoid a cockroach she saw OUTSIDE in a window.
This story, and so many like it, reminds me of our daily lives. Things as small as a cockroach, causes us to lose all control. We do things for people because of fear of losing them. We lie about our status and position out of fear of what people will think. We compromise our values, morals, and beliefs for fear of being alone.
Jesus was never afraid to be who God had purposed Him to be. God has not given us a spirit of fear and therefore when we will feel it rise up, we should already know where it’s coming from.
Today as we are faced with challenging situations that force us into new places and take us out of our comfort zones, let’s rely on our spirit man to give us the strength to face our fears head up. Squash those cockroaches disguised as stress, people, family, bills, work, and anything else that causes you to become completely paralyzed. Stand up, Stand tall, Stand still and let God do it.
