GROUNDLESS FEARS
How often do we allow fear to control our decisions before anything has even happened?
When Jacob heard that Esau was coming to meet him with 400 men, he immediately feared the worst. Memories of the past filled his mind, and he expected anger, revenge, and rejection. But when they finally met, Esau ran to embrace his brother with love and forgiveness.
Many of our fears are like Jacob's—built on assumptions, past wounds, and imagined outcomes rather than present realities. We lose peace worrying about battles that may never come.
God reminds us that fear often magnifies problems while faith focuses on His promises. Before we allow anxiety to take hold, let us seek God, trust His plan, and remember that He is already working ahead of us.
"When I am afraid, I put my trust in You." — Psalm 56:3
