His Fears

He argues that he's not but I definitely believe that he's perfect. Well, minus like 3%. but 97 ain't bad!

I read off the list of things most guys fear and asked if any bothered him. His response? "I've already done what I can to avoid those things and worrying about them wouldn't be constructive."

I KNOW! Geez! I can't even think like that! Grr. Well, anyway, I'm hoping that he's just got a really good resolve and the Lord blesses him for the efforts he takes to not give into sin by protecting his mind - unlike me and 99.6% of the world. *Sigh*

However, I can pray that he has continued and growing fear for the Lord.

When we have fear for the Lord, God promises to

• Deliver us from our enemies - 2 Kings 17:39
• Protect us from evil - Proverbs 16:6
• Keep His eye on us - Psalm 33:18
• Show us His mercy - Luke 1:50
• Give us riches and honor - Proverbs 22:4
• Supply everything we need - Psalm 34:9
• Reveal all we need to know - Psalm 25:14
• Bless our children and grandchildren - Psalm 103:17
• Give us confidence - Proverbs 14:26
• A satisfying life - Proverbs 19:23
• Longevity - Proverbs 10:27
• The desires of our hear - Psalm 145:19

Dear Lord, I thank You that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind. I thank You that Nathan has learned to protect his mind and not think idle thoughts. I pray that the Fear of the Lord is inbedded in every fiber of our being and we teach it to our children one day.
