Defying Fear

This week in my Bible study, the conversation turned to idols. All the normal items came up: money, power, time, etc. The one that caught all of our attentions was emotions and particularly the person speaking said anxiety and fear.

I had to meditate on that for a moment and realized how often I would “turn” my fear and anxiety over to God but actually hold on to part of it as if I was hedging my bet. God allowed that moment for me to rethink idols. I have let those two emotions become greater than God in certain instances.

I’m now repenting. Laying them at Christ feet but working to leave with open and empty hands.
