The last few days I have been
thinking about 
Fear...
and what motivates me.....
I have come to realize
that fear tries to create a lie....
Fear does not 
'make me' choose a certain path
but rather
belief that what is making me
afraid
is stronger than the 
truth of God's care
actually causes me choose the path
of submitting to fear....
In this I have found another word....
Courage.
Choosing a path (by belief)
in direct opposition to fear.
Jesus, who was like us 
in every way 
(except the sin nature)  ref Heb 2:17
A man
with weaknesses
and
Fears.....
Chose belief in His Father
in the face of 
His fear.... 
Heb 5:7  During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, 
he offered up prayers and petitions 
with loud cries and tears 
to the one who could save him from death, 
and he was heard 
because of his reverent submission.
8  Although he was a son, 
he learned obedience 
from what he suffered
With Loud cries and tears....
Not for the faint of heart
Not for those who waffle and take the easy path.....
Courage
Choosing what is True
in the face of 
Fear.
Or for me
Not allowing Fear
to dictate
my belief 
Lord Jesus,
I am coming to know You 
as the one who
suffered
and 
persevered
and that gives me
an amazing example
to walk as You did.
Submitted to the Father
even in the 
face of 
Fear.
Thank You for 
showing me
how to do that
well.
