I went to the doctor’s office this morning to have my leg checked. It’s just purple but Kristi thought it would be better to be safe than sorry (she’s pretty smart about these things). At any rate, while I was waiting, I noticed one of the nurses wearing a jacket that had the hospital logo on the front, but on the back was a neat statement. It said, “Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death.”
What a great thought! As I think about my own life, any time I feel uneasy about anything, if I will stop and remember that God holds my life in the very hands that created the world, things somehow don’t seem so bad. When we focus on our faith and growing in our relationship with God, our fears become very small.
It is not that our fears are magically removed. And it is not that the things that cause us fear go away. But rather, when we take our eyes off of ourselves and our problems and focus on God, life is put into perspective.
So today, are you feeding your faith or are you letting your concerns and fears eat at you? Your choice.
