Fear

Good morning! I am back to using my tool called "Meet with Me". Most of you think of it as a book or a bible study, yet I still find I use it best as a journal. I read the passage and answer the questions and write down the thoughts that come to my mind. I get to reflect on what God has for me today by looking at by thoughts and looking at his word. How do you take in His word? Where are you in His word today? Today I read Acts 12:1-19' it is where Peter is rescued. James is just killed by Herod and Peter is SLEEPING between two soldiers. Anything seem unimaginable in that sentence? The question in Meet With Me is, "Why is Peter able to sleep?" I tend to think Peter was perfect! What do you think? Probably not! I wonder if he knew where to go with his fear? I wonder if he walked so closely with Jesus he had no reason to fear? I wonder if he was exhausted and he just fell asleep? We do get to wonder and at the end of our wonderings we realize we hold in our hand the truth...Fear not I am with you! I will up hold you by my righteous right hand. No promise of prosperity, just peace in knowing the God who created me has a plan to make me just like Him! Fear is the biggest thing I wrestle with on a daily basis. Does your mind tend to run off into what ifs, and maybe's? Some days my energy is spent on taking the lies of my mind and replacing them with truths from Gods word! Maybe that should be on the top of out to do list. What things are on your to do list that are eternal? What things do last for eternity?
