Put in the Fire of Fear (pt 1)

Wednesday Aug 11, 2021

What do you do when you’re put in the fire of fear? Fear is like a fire – if you can control it, it can cook for you and heat your house. Uncontrolled, it will burn everything around you and can destroy you. Fear can be your best friend or your enemy. Where does your source of power come from? How do you choose to use fear? Daniel 3:16-18 shines the light on two truths: God is your defender and God may not move in the way or time that we expect him to. Maybe you’re in a situation where you need to be reminded of these truths today.
