The list of fears that people have is nearly unending. But one fear underscores all of the other fears, and it is one we all face. It’s the fear of the unknown.
When you think about fear of the future, it’s not really the future that you fear, but we’re fearing the past. Things that have happened to us in the past create fear for the future.
The foundation of fear is the fear of the future. And the foundation for facing the future is the fear of God.
Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.”
1 John 4:18 “Perfect love cast out fear.”
God’s love gives us the ability to drive out fear.
A seesaw:
- when you’re up you “see”
- when you’re down you “saw”
When God’s love is up, your fear is down. When fear is up, love is down.
I. God Retro
II. Don’t Deify Fear
III. Stay Away From Scenario Sickness
We’ll face the fear and we’ll live this life with the trajectory and a purpose and a wisdom and a common sense that the world can’t touch.
