Music Monday - I Will Fear No More

Happy Monday Friends!

This weeks song was one I had on repeat all last week. It’s fair to say that fear has been something that I’ve struggled with the last decade. Some of the fears were logical and some were not, but they were fears nonetheless. Fear is something I’ve gone toe to toe with satan on before. “Fear Not” was even my phrase for the year.

It’s funny how you can think you have made progress in an area and it only takes a moment for you to feel like your back to the beginning of your battle. There was a moment this past week that caught me off guard and in the moment I felt I was back to the beginning of my battle with fear - but I wasn’t.

I had tools, people, and God’s truth to fight the overwhelming fear that threatened to grip me. I wasn’t back at the beginning and while I wish it wasn’t something I needed to face again, I was so very thankful for the storms of the past, the experiences I’ve had, the lessons I’ve learned; they made navigating this one so much easier.

Take a listen to the song, I Will Fear No More by The Afters.

There are so many lyrics that speak to me when I listen to this song. But one that brings such peace is; “Even though I'm in the storm, the storm is not in me”. That is a remarkable truth friends. That the storm is not in us, God’s Spirits in us. While we may face storms they are not something we need to be fearful of.

“You're my courage when I worry in the dead of night
You're my strength 'cause I'm not strong enough to win this fight
You are greater than the battle raging in my mind
I will trust You, Lord
I will fear no more”

And that chorus is like a balm to the soul. It’s a reminder of where our strength comes from. It’s a reminder of how great our God is and how we must lean into our faith and trust Him. He longs for us to trust Him and not be held captive by fear.

If you also happen to fighting the giant of fear this week remember whose you are and lean into God to get you through the storm.

To Everything There Is A Season…..
