FearThe fearful, unbelieving, the abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. We have become a nation consumed by fear, worried about terrorists and rogue nations, Muslims and Mexicans, foreign companies, free trade, immigrants, international organizations and the list goes on... The strongest nation in the history of America, we see ourselves as besieged and overwhelmed. Currently, we do not have enough hands to cover preceived threats and we generate more each day. Fearing something or someone is out to get us often cause us to overlook the obvious and strike unneccesarily. How long can this go on? Have Mercy!
To satisfy this calling many lives and resources are being exhausted. Is there a better way? Speaking of atrocities, I just think back a few years, Africans and Indians and the world just stood by. We make mistakes but two "evils" don't make one "good". Our greatest fear is not we will be damned, but somehow Jesus Christ will be defeated. The very things our God stands for love, justice, forgiveness, and kindness among men will not win in the end and will represent an unattainable goal for us. Then there is the call to spiritual perseverance. Grant unto him that he may find mercy that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me, thou knowest very well, Love heals and drives away fear. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, love, and of a sound mind. The Spirit-filled person is peaceful. Pray, Asking for peace and works for prosperity!
