As we look at the condition of the world today, it is easy to be fearful and anxious as we consider what might happen in the coming days and months. It is even more of a challenge when the news is so accessible. Now you don’t have to wait until you get home and turn on your TV. You can get the news of the day right on your phone, tablet or laptop. And to further complicate the issue, the news always seem to major on bad news and scandals. What then can we do? It’s quite simple, yet it involved personal discipline. We must make a quality decision to do several things: ONE, we need to reject any and all fear because God has NOT given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). TWO, we need to embrace God’s love because there is NO fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4: 18). Three, We need to daily renew our minds with the word of God because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). The more we focus on what God says, the more His Peace will rule in our lives. The more we focus on the daily news, the more fearful and anxious we become. At the end of the day, it’s your choice what daily habits and actions you take. Refuse to give in to the fear-based narratives. Instead, walk by faith in God’s word and promises. One will keep you in fear and anxiety. The other will have you walk in love, faith, joy and peace! Blessings!
