Fearless-Factor - Luke 12:7

Fear, Worried, Anxiety they are all a funny thing. The anticipation of test results, The unknown, The question of what is around the corner. These are the issues that worry us. But why?
Today was a hard day for Vanessa and I. We had to go to the doctor because she was having paralyzing pain in her deep lower back. She couldn't walk well and was concerned as she should be. It was not normal for her. As we go to see the doctor, the doctor does her doctor thing and then gives the list of the possible things it could be. None of them sound at all to well. But then she says a word that brings Vanessa later to tears. It could be a tumor. We still don't have the final doctors diagnosis, but her opinion doesn't matter. We have a perfect physician, who is in control. He doesn't need x-rays and MRI's. He is all knowing.
Vanessa is worried of course, no one is so strong to not have a raised heart-beat, increased temperature when the thought of something severe occurs. But she know that God is God and he loves her. Nothing she does will ever take that love away and we are ready to face whatever he places in front of us, because He is going to be with us. For all we know it could be a deep muscle spasm. We have many friends, family who are in much deeper issues with health. The point of this is God cares more about us than anything else on the planet. He does not forget us.
He is an interesting thought. We get so busy in our day-to-day life that we forget to include God in our day sometimes. But, God the all knowing and all powerful the One who created everything isn't to busy to hear from you. He is standing by waiting for you to listen and have a conversation with.
The Fearless Factor for today is Luke 12:7 "Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." If God cares about the birds in the sky? How much more does he care about you?
Be Fearless and Quiet No More.
Your Brother in Christ,
