Psalms 27:1-3

Two hunters came across a Lion so big that they dropped their rifles and ran for cover. One man climbed a tree while the other hid in a nearby cave. The Lion was in no hurry to eat, so he sat down between the tree and the cave to reflect upon his good fortune. Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, the hunter in the cave came rushing out, almost ran into the waiting Lion, hesitated, and then dashed back in again. The same thing happened a second time. When he emerged for the third time, his companion in the tree frantically called out,?"John, are you crazy? Stay in the cave till he leaves!" "Can't,"?panted John,?"there's another bear in there!"?

Do you ever feel like fear is giving us the run around? Although there are a lot of scary things going on in the world these days and perhaps even in our own personal lives, God has not called us to live in fear. He’s has called us to stand strong in His confidence, knowing that He is in control! He’s called us to live lives full of power, love and a sound mind!

Dr. E. Stanley Jones said?“I am inwardly fashioned for faith, not for fear. Fear is not my native land; faith is. I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil. I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt, and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is gasping for breath--these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely--these are my native air.”?

Brothers & Sisters, let's say no to fear! Let us determine to put our hope in the Lord once again today!?JUST SAY NO!
