THANKSGIVING FOR TODAY, SEPT 7, 2015
FEARS: Have you ever let your fears overtake you? I have, but prayed for the strength. The Lord has come to my aid EVERY TIME! I am still afraid of heights. But I manage it every time with the comfort of the Holy Spirit. I THANK THE LORD FOR HELPING ME OVERCOME MY FEARS!
I purposely took a job in 1980 that was 100% travel. The job required me to purposely go to heights beyond my imagination. I was about 600 feet above the ground performing environmental tests. I learned to control me fears and enjoy the beautiful views. Most of my assignments were in the Midwest and on the East coast at utility companies, paper & pulp mills, and coal mines. I saw some amazing views.
When I had my son I took him to the fair. He was afraid to ride the ferris wheel. Deep down inside, so was I. But I prayed silently and took him on the ferris wheel so he would not be afraid of heights. Every time we were at the top of the run I would tell him "Isn't this view great?" Lord knows I was scared, but I overcame my fears to ensure a successful ride for my son. THANK U JESUS!
As crazy as it seems I love mowing the lawn on the riding mower. Once I was on the mower and saw a large animal run out of the tall grass. I just knew it was a gigantic rat. But my son said it was most likely a gopher. Yeah right!!!! I would not get make on that mower for months. But I had open heart surgery and had time on my hand to think. I said I have to get back on that mower. I must conquer my fear. So I asked my husband to help me on and off the mower. Everyone thought I was crazy! But, it was something I had to do for myself. Guess what? I overcame my fear and am meeting Jesus weekly on that mover!
What fears do you have in your innermost being? You must overcome that fear. You cannot let your fears conquer you. Pray to the Lord for strength and execute with determination.
PS 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
PS 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 TIM 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
GLORY! Let the Lord use you in the midst of fear!
