Programmed to fear

Normally on Sundays I put up the Be Still Sundays badge or I just don't blog but I was convicted this morning as I sat in Church. (I love when that Happens because hubby is the PASTOR!) But I found myself squirming a little as he spoke about how our country is been and ill be in the future. But I have been programmed to become uncomfortable when things that are true are said yo start to FEAR what might happen. Somethings that have been threatened to churches in the past is that they might loose their tax free status. That is huge for a church because then a church becomes a business and most churches cannot afford those kinds of taxes. But then I began to think on a much smaller scale.... My home I have been programmed to fear what goes on in my home too. Such as the form of discipline that I choose to use with my children. The result: FEAR of loosing my children to a sometimes brutal system when in reality my home was WAY MORE LOVING! So here is what I am going to do about this fear! I have a plan. I am going to study fear in the Bible. I am going to use the concordance and EVERY day I am going to post one verse and we'll talk about it! So together we can learn what kind of role it SHOULD play in our every day lives and I hardly think it is the way i have been applying it! Just a few thoughts!Have a great Sunday!
