fear is a natural response to uncertainties in life...but as believers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we were never meant to live in fear. Fear of rejection, humiliation, poverty, death, or even the unknown should never get the best of us. Fear, if left unchecked, will consume our belief system that can cripple the very norms and standards of our soul. This will eventually lead to a miserable life...and that's not how God designed it for us.

Just a while ago, during our midweek service, God gave me the privilege to tackle the importance of understanding God's integrity. We saw the significance of understanding who God is and what He is capable of doing in a believer's life. The Christian life is an ongoing process of growing in grace and understanding God. Without a clear understanding of God's character and essence, we will always live in fear. Because once we understand that as believers, God in His immutable and faithful essence would always give us another chance, then the notion of fear, worry and anxiety won't have a chance to creep into our mentalities! Life would be a lot less stressful with the clarity of who God is.

Fear will always be present and worry is its bestfriend...life will always be unfair and would always remain unfair. But through life's inconsistencies, we are given the chance to grow, mature and live in hope rather than fear. Hope is a stronger emotion than fear...because it gives you something to look forward to based on an absolute truth. So seek God, know His essence, grow in grace and get out of your self fabricated atmosFEAR!
