The Fear of Fear
Bible Reading 5/18: Psalms 26, 40, 58, 61-62, 64
Psalms 64:1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
When I read this verse, I automatically thought of the phrase, "There's nothing to fear but fear itself." And this Scripture confirms that while the whole chapter complements it! We do not need to fear the enemy, because many of these Psalms sing of God's mighty power which can defeat our enemies in an instant...but it's our choice to surrender our fear! As it states in this Scripture, we must ask God to protect us from the FEAR of the enemy, NOT the enemy itself! The thing we need to be protected from most is our own fear...then, when we fear & reverence God, we can conquer ANYTHING!

Peacefulness is the toughest muscle there is, and exercising it only makes it stronger. However, it proves to be the most difficult to keep toned & honed consistently in our lives. Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
