Scripture:
“What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true. I have no peace, no quietness. I have no rest; only trouble comes.”” Job 3:25-26 NLT
Observation:
Job had been tested with losing everything, even his health. His wife’s recommendation was to curse God and die. This one verse tucked into the text of Job reveals something much deeper than we see at first sight. Job had always feared losing his kids and his possessions. He had dreaded something happening to them. Fear never brings good results. Faith always wins. Apparently Job had feared that day of testing. He always sacrificed for his kids, possibly because he was scared they had messed up in their walk with God.
Application:
What you fear, controls you and dominates your life. Fear of God is very healthy, but fear of anything or anyone else is dangerous. Fear causes us to lose faith every time. Fear opens the door to the enemy. God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. We must hold onto faith and not be led by our fears in any area of life.
Prayer:
Father, help me to never be afraid, but to fulfill Your will at all times and trust You in the process. Teach me to walk by faith and overcome all fear. Empower me to live a fear free life. Help me to walk with You and trust that You will take care of me completely. You have done an amazing job thus far. Help me to fear nothing but You and to have faith that You will take care of the details of my life.
Your Son,
Jeff
