How do we get our faith to outmatch fear? I think that is a very practical question I have been asking the Lord. I can be filled with courage one minute and seconds later fall back into the "lie" called "fear of failure" or "fear of coming doom". One day I admitted this, "I so often feel like I am on the edge of my seat, Lord, waiting for the other foot to drop." Surprisingly, I heard the Lord ask me, "Wanna see the other foot?" I was shocked and yet curious so I said.... "suuurrre????" Then the Lord whispered to my spirit, "close your eyes." There I saw in my mind's eye a puny person. I heard the Lord say, "Here is the first foot." I heard a big stomp and a huge foot is right beside me on the left side and the leg is so big I can't even see the knee. Then I heard him say and "here comes the second foot." Again a big Boom was heard and the next huge foot was on my right side and I was under this huge, giant angel (maybe my guardian angel??). I had to laugh. God was very generously showing me and it seemed as if he was laughing with me silly it is for me to be "on the edge of my seat" about anything. Ah- so I am to fear God and not man or viruses. But I know from studying this love letter called the Bible, that the word for fearing God is different from that fear that means "be afraid." All over that Love Letter we are told "don't be afraid." Respecting God and being awed by Him and His ways to the point that we want to do things His way instead of our own way.
