Fear And Worry Are Interest Paid In Advance On Something You May Never Own.Fear is a poor chisel to carve out your tomorrow. Worry is simply the misuse of God's creative imagination which he has placed within each of us. It is the triumph of fear over faith.When fear rises in our mind, we should learn to expect the opposite.
I believe that one of the major reasons why the Bible was written is to teach us to expect the opposite of what we see in the natural. So if fear comes, we should expect the opposite, which is faith to rise up inside of us. Or when symptoms would attack our body, we should expect the opposite, which is God's healing power to touch our lives. Or if lack or poverty would want to come into our lives we should expect the opposite, which is God to meet all our needs.
Too much analysis always leads to paralysis. Things are seldom what they seem. Never respond out of fear, and never fear to respond.
Action attacks fear; inaction builds fear. Worry is a route that leads from somewhere to nowhere. Never let it direct your life."Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." (Ps.
