Will you obey your fear or obey your God?
Wow. That hit me hard. I do not want to obey my fears. What a horrible way to go through life. I want to obey my God and live for him.
I just looked up some verses about fear:
Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. (John 14:27)
For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. (II Timothy 1:7)
So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6)
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
This phrase stuck in my head too. Lisa's whole talk was challenging. Thanks for posting the verses.
