Scripture: Psalm 56:11
In God I trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me?
Thought for the Day: We are wired to be afraid, and this has helped to keep the human species alive. Fear of a large animal with sharp teeth was good for it caused us to flee, but there is also an unhealthy fear that causes spiritual paralysis and puts us in more danger. William Sloane Coffin said, “If your heart is full of fear, you won’t seek truth; you’ll seek security. If a heart is full of love, it will have a limbering effect on the mind.” Fear of _________ (whatever fits in the blank for you) will have you seeking security over truth. Placing truth behind security is what should be feared. We may think we are safe, but seeking self-made security usually puts us further away from God – not a good place to be.
Prayer: Lord, help keep my spirit agile so I may quickly move to you in a time of fear. Amen.
