Remember what I said here? Yeah, huge breakthrough in the Falen's Fear Department. Who knew?!
I had another ah-ha moment recently too that had to deal with fear and still entirely relevant with the topic of marriage. You know that verse that talks about submitting to your husband? (1 Peter 3:1) Do you know what the following sentences discuss?
I am not kidding!
They submitted themselves
to their own husbands,
like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham
and called him her lord.
You are her daughters
if you do what is right
and do not give way to fear.
That is exactly what I was doing... Letting the fear of him never having a heart passionate for Christ give way to my disobedience? Letting the fear of 'things will never change' give way to my self pity parties? Letting the fear of always falling a distant second to addictions give way to my disrespect and resentment?
Was any of that right? No. Fear was keeping me from who God called me to be.
Don't let fear keep you from being
who God called you to be!
Love how God's word is always relevant. Love how this #FaithChallenge is encouraging more time in God's word. Have you joined yet? It isn't too late!
So excited to be linking up with
Cat over at This Little Life of Mine

If you wanna join in, here's the layout:
I love this! I know that I succumb to fear often, but I have never thought of it in this context. God has a plan...and this type of debilitating fear is not in it.
ReplyDeleteLove your faith sister! As you (we) continue to stay focused on God, and trust in our relationship with Him rather than worry about the circumstances and associations around us, He promises that all that we need will be provided in His good timing and I am pretty sure that He knows what He is doing! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings Falen!
