Lately, I have found myself quite scared of life in general. I have always loved life, and always had the greatest faith in God. I still do of course, but for some reason death and other scary things have been frightening to me recently when they never really used to before.
This has been on my mind a lot. Today though I heard in a variety of songs "Greater is he that is living in me, than he who is living in the world." And Jeremy Camp's song elaborated on it continuing to sing "He’s conquered our enemy No power of darkness No weapon prevails We stand here in victory". I know God wanted me to hear this as the lyric was quite repetitive today and no other good songs were on. It dawned on me that I do not need to be afraid of frightening things because God has already overcome them. I have enourmous amounts of light in me, and darkness cannot harm me. Jesus cheated death for me. The least I can do is trust that he will get me, my family, my friends and all of us through this scary world because he has already conquered the enemy.
I am so grateful that he has, it makes my life a lot easier.
So... I just reread my blog and I find it funny that 1) I touched on the subject of fear before 2) my last post had this same song. I find it interesting that since I am human sometimes God has to repeat things over and over, just like a nagging parent. I dont mind, God can continue to remind me. He knows I need it.
