Beth Moore's Breaking Free

Well, I have just gotten back into Beth Moore's book "Breaking Free", now that I can read again. That is another story, and I will post about that later. I am really enjoying this book. Here is a quote from today's reading:

God's word often tells us not to fear, yet not all of our fears are unfounded. Think about it. Our present society poses many threats. . . If nothing frightening will happen to us, how could the assurance of God's constant presence still be the quieter of our fears? The point is not that we have nothing to fear but that His presence is the basis for our courage.

I once wrote that being in His hands is sometimes the most dangerous place to be.

It all comes down to perspective.

I don't want to live in fear. And I want His perspective. But unfortunately it seems He only gives information out on a "need to know" basis. So, ultimately, it comes down to trust. Faith, trust, obedience.

Maybe I should return to this book.
