Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
Some days we need to be reminded who is in control. Other days, we need to remind Satan who is in control. Then there are days we need to remind ourselves Satan cannot control us!
Our God is bigger than the boogieman! One of my favorite VeggieTales. The theme song for it runs through my head when fears start to rise all around me. Then I see flashes of the storm on the sea and Jesus standing up in the boat and everything stops. I have to remind myself it states 365 times in the bible to “FEAR NOT!” So, why does my stomach still get queazy, and my jitters still shake my body? That is easy because I am still human.
Let’s be honest, would God have said fear not so many times, if He thought we didn’t need to be reminded? No. He expects us to face hard times, frightening times, and shake in our boots so hard you almost puke times. What He doesn’t want is for us to live there. There is no reason for us to remain afraid. Yes, situations around us can be bad, but we have to power to tell Satan, I will not let this stop me anymore. Fearless doesn’t mean not being you will never be afraid, it means doing it despite the fear. Satan may try and influence the circumstances around you, but he cannot control you!
Lord, today I am facing some anxiety in my world. I know You are in control. I will choose to walk on through the storms. Satan has no control over me! ~amen
