Fear can act like a shipwreck
Have you ever met people that live their lives in fear? Fear of failure, fear of flying, fear of their needs not being met, fear to go places that may be challenging?
As I look around I see people operating in fear.
I am living in Canada and I see people in chaos acting on rumors. They hear the price of gas might go up so they form long lines and act like we will never be able to get gas again. You can see the panic in their eyes.
Another person stops following God's calling because he fears whether or not God can provide for his need. They are tossed about like a ship in the hurricane.
Still another person won't get involved in missions because they have a fear of flying. In fact they discourage others from missions based on their fear.
I am not saying we should be careless, not at all. I believe we need to put our faith in God and trust Him that He truly is sovereign.

Thank you so much for those thoughts, Scott. I am very fearful of a lot of things in the future right now, but daily I am seeking the Lord and trusting that he will provide my needs.
