The Lord is my light and my salvation-so why should I be
afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from dangers, so why
should I tremble? Psalm 27:1
The other night it rained in Knoxville, so I did my best to
coax Elliott into watching, E.T., one of my favorite movies of all-time.
I told him about the story of how E.T. was left behind on earth and a little
boy that shared Elliott's name found him and brought the alien home to live
with him. It was "all systems go" until Elliott asked to see
the DVD packaging. When he saw E.T.'s glowing finger, he became scared
for some strange reason. (Heck, I can't say anything, I was petrified kid
in the 80s during the Super-Bowl when Michael Jackson debuted his classic
Thriller video!)
You see, fear turns our focus away from God and towards the
troubles that intimidate us. We must learn to look at our fears and
troubles as opportunities to rely on God for His help, guidance, and all-mighty
power.
There is no problem that is too big for our loving Father
who promises to save and deliver His people!
