WHAT I'VE LEARNED FROM LIFE

“I’ve learned that although it’s hard to admit, I’m secretly glad by parents are strict with me.” (Age 14)

“I’ve learned that silent company is often more healing than words of advice.” (Age 24)

“I’ve learned that the greater a person’s sense of guilt, the greater the need to cast blame on others.” (Age 16)

“I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you miss them terribly after they die.” (Age 53)

“I’ve learned that making a living is not the same as making a life.” (Age 58)

“I’ve learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.”

“I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with kindness, I usually make the right decision.” (Age 66)

“I’ve learned that when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.” (Age 82)

“I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.” (Age 92)

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

When Fear Creeps In
November 25, 2012

When my daughter exclaimed, “Mommy, a bug!” I looked where she was pointing and saw the largest spider I have ever encountered outside of a pet shop. Both the spider and I knew that he would not be allowed to stay in our house. And yet, as I faced him, I found I could not take one step closer to end the standoff. My pulse quickened. I swallowed and gave myself a pep-talk. Still, fear kept me frozen in place.

Fear is powerful; it can override logical thinking and produce irrational behavior. Thankfully, Christians don’t have to let fear of anything—people, situations, or even spiders—rule our actions. We can declare, “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in [God]” (Ps. 56:3).

Taking this stand against fear is consistent with the Bible’s instruction to “trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding” (Prov. 3:5). Our own understanding may lead us to overestimate the object of our fear and underestimate God’s power. When we are afraid, we can depend on God’s understanding (Isa. 40:28) and trust in His love for us that “casts out fear” (1 John 4:18). The next time fear creeps into your life, don’t panic. God can be trusted in the darkness.

Into His hands I lay the fears that haunt me,
The dread of future ills that may befall;
Into His hands I lay the doubts that taunt me,
And rest securely, trusting Him for all. —Christiansen

Trusting God’s faithfulness dispels our fearfulness.

Read: Psalm 56

Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in [God]. —Psalm 56:3

Bible in a Year:
1 Corinthians 9-12

Good evening, Mac...thank you, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to the MacNessa family.

Did you have a restful day? *HUGS*

I’ve been pushing paperwork all day. It sure can build up fast when you aren’t looking.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours, Nana Hope, and thanks for today's Pledge...((HUGS)) Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

[ConorMacNessa]

Yes, have been resting most of the day. Took my son to work and ran a couple of errands at 5:00 p.m. I'm going to hit the hay in a little while and watch Notre Dame vs. USC.
