I
wish I could be more like Jonathan was in 1Samuel 14:8 when he faced the
Philistines. He told his armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of
those uncircumcised fellows (let’s bust fear in the face!—my interpretation.) . . . Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving,
whether by many or by few.” Jonathan knew who had his back—both physically and
spiritual.
Being
the “concrete, black & white” thinker that I am, trusting hasn’t come
easily. Regardless of how many people have told me, “You’re such a strong
person” after recuperating from each of the first three “Ds” mentioned above,
it doesn’t get easier for me. I still grow anxious; I forget to pray first; I
doubt; I let my emotions get the best of me. So, how do I get up, get through,
and go on?
“’Not
by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’says the LORD Almighty.” (Zachariah
4:7) Emerging myself in God’s word on a regular basis helps me to soak up what
I need in times of trouble. By rehearsing then releasing what I know to be true, God's Spirit within me becomes my “Fear” buster.
