Biggest fear
My Biggest Lesson
“So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 (NLT)
Deuteronomy 31:6 is a bible verse which has encouraged me and comforted me so many times when fear wanted to devour me. This was a verse my son, Jacob, blessed me with one day. It was just a few months before his injury. Little did I know this would be my biggest life lesson.
What Does Your Fear Look Like
Fear is an emotion so common in all of us. It is what keeps us up at night worrying. Think about what fear looks like in your life. No matter what fear has looked like in my life, every single time, it has kept me away from God. At times, fear has made me doubt what Ephesians 3:20 says.
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we could ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20 (NLT)
Teaching Me to Lose my fear
In some of my toughest moments in life, I have felt alone wondering and asking God many questions and saying many things to him. Where are you? Do you hear me? This is enough! When are you going to finish this? Why? I have asked you! As I have time to look back on these moments, it is easy to see what HE was doing. HE was teaching me the biggest lesson of my life, to lose my fear. God has taught me where to place my trust and where to get my strength from. Even though I experienced so much pain in the waiting, HE never left me.
So the verse that Jacob shared with me is in my living room and forever in my heart. I am a different person now because of it. Don’t forget when you are going through something in your life, look for the lesson and lose your fear. Place your trust in Him.
Counting My Blessing,
