Fear, You’re Not The Boss of Me!

What is your ONE THING? This weekend Pastor Steve Andres continued our YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME series with a message about fear.

Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?

David is not in denial. As we read David’s prayer in Psalm 27, we see that he has real reasons to experience fear. How does he respond?

1) SEEK

David’s reflex in the face of fear is to seek God. Different seasons require different glimpses of the face of God. 

2) MEDITATE

Our imaginations can fuel our faith or our fears. When we meditate and think deeply about who God is, our redeemed imagination is encouraged.

Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace
    all who trust in you,
    all whose thoughts are fixed on you.

What is your meditation? What do you allow your mind and heart to dwell on during your day?

3) GAZE

David’s ONE THING, his highest desire, is to see and appreciate the beauty of God. What is your ONE THING?

4) WAIT

Maturity in faith comes only when we break our addiction to control. David’s trust and surrender are expressed in his waiting in the face of fear.

We can overcome fear because we serve a God who is able to turn every curse into blessing!
