7 Ways I’ve Learned To Manage Fear

7 Ways I’ve Learned To Manage Fear

I was working through my daily reading list when this headline, “STATS: Americans ‘snapping’ by the millions…” caught my eye on drudgereport.com. My first thought was this might be something related to the recent bombings at the Boston Marathon. As I continued to read it was clear that the commentary had a political angle, but putting that aside, I could not stop thinking about the deeper issues outlined in the article.

“Of course, at the nuclear core of the myriad assaults on traditional America is the rejection of God and repudiation of the Judeo-Christian values that underpin Western civilization. This in turn has led to pervasive societal disintegration and a Pandora’s Box of almost unimaginable problems.”i

Life Lessons I’m Learning From The Rain

Life Lessons I’m Learning From The Rain

Check out these lyrics from the song ‘Jesus Bring The Rain’ by Mercy Me.

So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there’ll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that’s what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

That’s a tough perspective, isn’t it?

Awake My Soul

Then He said to me,
Prophesy to these bones and say to them,
Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones,
I will make breath enter you,
And you will come to life.
So I prophesied as I was commanded.
As I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound,
And the bones came together, bone to bone.
And I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them,
And skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
Then He said to me,
Prophesy to the breath,
Prophesy, son of man, and say to it,
Conjure the four winds of breath and breathe.

Rick Evans

There is a big difference between hearing and listening. God is not just looking for us to hear Him. God wants us to listen. The biggest difference between the two is “respect” and “trust”. When someone is talking to you that you don’t respect or trust, you will most likely only hear them (if that), unless they are threatening you in some way. This is not how God has built our relationship with Him. God wants us to listen because we know it is best, through Trust and Faith. Set aside some time today and listen to God. You won’t believe the words He is whispering in your heart if you can get quiet enough to hear them.
