Fear Not
Somewhere in time, last week, a job I had applied for was
offered to me. I am very excited about
the change. This is a new opportunity. It offers me the chance to mentor and
train, two things I love to do. This
position also requires that a person has a lot of knowledge. I have a lot, but I don’t know
everything. I started to get
worried. What if everyone I was trying
to help needed to do or know something I didn’t know how to do? I can research and find an answer, but if I
did that every time, I wouldn’t have time to help anyone. On and on it goes.
What I was experiencing was fear in the form of new job
jitters.
We all experience fear for one reason or the other, but many
times our fears are tied to what if and maybe scenarios. Why do we fear things that may or may not happen?
In the King James version of the Bible is says fear not 74
times and be not afraid 29 times.
I was afraid and fearful, why? There is no need. I have been doing this job for 17 years, so
this position is a natural transition for me and a perfect choice. It was then that it occurred to me. I had no reason to worry.
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me.”
It was amazing how quickly my fearful meanderings left once
I realized where my strength came from.
