Fear is a funny thing. Some of it is good for you. God gave it to you as a way to protect yourself.<\/p>\n

For example, when you’re walking down the street and massive pit bull with foam dripping from its mouth comes running at you, your typical response isn’t, “Nice, puppy!”<\/p>\n

It’s fear… run, kick, scream. That’s a good thing.<\/p>\n

However, the vast majority of our fears aren’t pit bulls. They aren’t collies, or even kittens. Truth is a good chunk of our fears are like that noise in the basement we \u00a0imagine is a serial killer whose been hiding there all day and is waiting until 3:46 AM because of some sick ritualistic obsession of his to come in and pounce on my entire family!<\/p>\n

When actually it’s just the sump pump.<\/p>\n

I’ve got some potentially scary days ahead and I just wanted to offer you this children’s camp moment as a reminder to Fear Not.<\/p>\n

2 Timothy 1:7 <\/sup>For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
