Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee
from that time, and have declared it? ye are even My witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Isaiah
44:8
I find that I’m a big time chicken. I hide behind these keys
while saying that we should share our faith with others, but when push comes to
shove, do I practice what I preach? Well, unfortunately, I only do it very
reluctantly. When I’m with someone who is saying something contrary to Biblical
scriptures, I ask myself if I REALLY
need to clarify their misconception. I find myself trying to find very
diplomatic ways to clear up these misconceptions, so that I don’t alienate
them.
Basically, I’m worried about whether this person is going to
be mad at me. That is my very first thought. It is first before I think about
what God wants me to do. It’s first before I consider if it could have a
detrimental effect on this person’s salvation. I just don’t want them mad at
me!
I feel so terrible right now. God has done so many miracles
in my life that defy explanation. To top those off, He’s blessed me by allowing
me to lose 80+ pounds and to keep the majority of it off for over 30 years. Christ
didn’t think twice about doing this for me. Why am I so reluctant to do this
for Him? What am I so afraid of?
I’m realizing it’s the fear of the other person’s anger,
but shouldn’t I value what God wants much more than the approval of others? I
think I do, but I’ve done this time and again where I shy away from setting
things straight with those who say things contrary to Biblical scriptures. I
need so much spiritual growth in this area. Since God’s showing me this major
weakness, I trust Him to heal me and for Him to give me the willingness to
stand up for Him instead of being afraid of what others think. Fear ye
not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared
it? ye are even My witnesses. Is there a
God beside Me? yea, there is no God; I
know not any. Isaiah 44:8
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my overeating, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verse.
