The Fear of Falling
I recently was asked to speak at a Christian Luncheon. These were Christian businessmen and women who meet each week to pray and have a devotional. One of the points in my message to them is that the reason many people have trouble accomplishing anything is that they have a Fear of Falling!
If we are too afraid of losing our position, our friends or social status, we will never be able to accomplish anything for God! This fear of falling can paralyze a person so that they cannot function. They want to act, they want to make those who love them proud and do the right thing, but they are so afraid, their fear of falling keeps them from doing anything.
One of the ways for you to be free from fear is to hide God's word in your heart and to learn to obey His commands. A good verse for this is one of my favorite passages:
John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Then read John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
