Fear is not of God. In fact look at what it stands for when you break down the letters in the word itself. Fear is "f""alse "e"vidence "a"ppearing "r"eal. We cannot rely on our emotions or feelings to guide our lives. Our feelings will lie to us and make us think something that is not. Fear is an emotion we all face in our lives but when we allow it to manifest, it can become paralyzing and cause us to misstep. It is also a tool the enemy will use quite often in our lives. We must be strong in spirit and in the knowing that in all things we must pray, believe and wait. If I looked at my circumstances and really "allowed" my mind to go there and wonder, I could become quite fearful of my unknown future but because I rest in Him and in His love and promise for me, fear has no place. It is my prayer for all my brothers and sisters that you get to that place of calmness and blessed security so that you too can tell the devil to flee when he begins to bring that nonsense around you. The Lord tells us that nothing will happen to us that He does not allow, therefore why be afraid of anything or why hold on to anything? If I were to lose my job, I would know that the Lord would provide a new vehicle for which to bless me. So if you are facing unemployment or a possible layoff in your future, fear not for the Lord God is with you and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. And if He allowed your employment to come to an end, then He has a bigger plan for you. And I promise you it will be filled with value and purpose. So have a fabulous day in Him, celebrate all things and count them all joy. James 1:2 It is in His name, I pray this, amen.
Isaiah 41:10
