Psalm
55:5
Fearfulness
and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Liz
sat crying in the small cafT. It looked as though she might be pregnant, and
she was terrified. Her parents would yell at her, her boyfriend would probably
leave her, and everyone would think she was somehow cheap and dirty; at least,
that was how they would make her feel. This wasn't something she wanted or was
proud of. She had made a terrible mistake. She had given in to sin. Now she was
a very scared young girl, with nowhere to turn.
Sin
makes us a prisoner. It takes away our freedom, and it controls us with fear
and guilt. Luckily, we have a Savior who crushes the power of sin and sets us
free. Jesus Christian died to let us know we are loved, and God forgives us
when we fall. Nothing w do can separate us from that love, so we have nothing
to fear at all.
Prayer:
Lift me from the horrors of sin, Lord. Set my feet upon right paths, and lead
me away from things that will harm me. Give me courage in the face of
frightening situations. Amen.
