Fear


I didn't get to go walk today, so I am using a picture I took a few days ago.....  Probably my biggest fear is of spiders.  You can ask my kids, I have woken them up in the middle of the night to kill one.  I have called them from the yard to come kill one in the flower bed.  I have gotten sick everywhere because someone had caught a tranutula and showed it to me.  I can hardly even type that word and probably misspelled it, but I am not going to look it up because it would bring up pictures and then I would have nightmares....LOL.  ANYWAY, with all this fear, I am fasinated with spider webs.  It is just another of God's creations that amazes me.  The web is such a delicate and intricate work of "God's Art".

Isaiah 35:4  Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompennse of God; He will come and save you.

I'm pretty sure this verse is not about my fear of spiders, but as I think about that fear it makes me think of a time in my life when my relationship with God was not as strong as it is now and there were many things I was afraid of.  As my relationship with God has grown stronger, my fears in this world have grown much smaller to the point of not being there at all.  I have come to have complete trust that God is handling my life not me and HE will take care of everything.

  1. Very nice! I completely agree, too. When God's got the reins, there's just nothing to fear!
