Read Pr. 22:13
This verse describes the germ phobia that permeates our generation. I was reading in Genesis today about when Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac. The servant prayed to God that the woman that was suppose to be Isaac's wife would not only give him a drink but also his camels. The thought I had when I read it was "that wouldn't go over to well in our generation". Just think...the servant and the camels were all going to drink from the same bucket. And the well....had it been tested for contamination? I know there are more germs in the world today because of factories, chemicals and exposure but where is common sense and faith? Today's verse is about the slothful man that wouldn't leave his house because he was afraid there would be a lion in the street and it might kill him. It sounds so silly but so do our fears. If we trust in God we should have no fear except of God. What can man do to us? Kill us? Then we get to go to heaven. Hurt us? God can heal us. Intimidate us? We have the very spirit of God in us. If God be for us WHO can be against us.
Lord, help us to rise up and be fearless in the face of the devil and humble in your face. We want to walk in the authority Jesus walked in with the keys to the kingdom that Jesus died to give us.
