This week's "Reflection" by Matt Sasso, Pastor of Student Ministries
This past weekend we looked at how in the midst of life’s uncertainty, fearful circumstances can create panic in our lives. Just as the Israelites allowed panic to prevent them from entering the land God had for them, we too can allow panic to prevent us from trusting the promise of God’s presence and power in our lives.
So what are things that generate panic in your life? What are the circumstances that make you ask the questions, "What or who can I trust?" "Where can I turn?" "How can I find control?" God desires that you are filled and living with HIs spirit, not of panic. We trust that God has not given us a sprit of fear, but rather of love and sound mind. Even in the fearful of circumstances we can find hope.
As I was reflecting on this message I know that some of you are in the midst of things in your life that are generating panic. I hope that this weekend was a reminder that you are not alone, that we are still loved by a God that is able to lead us through life’s journey. Sometimes all we can say, “Lord here I am, here is my everything.” It might not feel like much, but God can do amazing things through us and in us when are willing to give 100% commitment, even though we don’t have a 100% belief.
This week I would like to invite you to post some of your thoughts on the LBF blog.
