The Ponderings of an Everyday Guy continues… If I may
paraphrase a statement made by a colleague, “I’m not afraid of Frankenstein, Dracula, or any other primetime creature of
the night, but a little girl with a big knife and an evil grin makes me wet
myself a little.” I wish I could have
found the exact statement, but I think you get the gist.
I’ve met people through the years that are afraid of a lot of
things to include “big brother” watching them to current events in the
news. Many are afraid of the future and
what may be hiding around the next corner of life. Truthfully, we do not need to be afraid of any
of these things or possible events.
However, I do know we should fear God. He is the one who ultimately will judge the
world and us. The term “God fearing”
used to mean something. People lived
their lives believing in God, but too many times we live like there is no God
or consequences for our actions.
Good news! By the
grace of God, and because of the blood of Jesus we can experience forgiveness
of our sins. Truly, Jesus taught when we
pray we are to recognize that even the very name of God must be “hallowed”. That means revered, shown reverence.
Do not be afraid of things that go BUMP in the night. Be assured God is bigger and stronger than
anything the devil can throw at us.
Have a great day,
CW
