Written by Michelle Lazurek, a contemporary writer.
In this life, we will always encounter fear. Anxiety and fear are a natural part of life. But it’s our reaction to it is what God honors. Even when I feel anxious, I don’t have to give in to that fear. I can do what I can to face my fears and experience life despite my fears. When I run to God rather than run to my fear, God is glorified…We must understand that we have freedom in this life…We don’t want anything to overtake us in life so much that we cannot worship God. Anything that takes over our thoughts, feelings, and actions more than it should become an idol in our lives…We don’t want to indulge in any sinful behavior that may overtake us in the end…It is easy to have idols creep into our lives. With God, we always hope to push those idols aside and allow ourselves not to be mastered by anything.
Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. [1 Corinthians 10:23]
