Charles Stanley Devotional 10 September: URL: intouch.org “Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.” Aristotle How to Conquer Your Fears Psalm 27:1-3 Is there a specific fear that seems to resurface in your life again and again? Are you afraid of being unable to pay your bills? Are you afraid of being alone? Perhaps you are afraid of suffering, dying, or losing someone close to you. All of these things are legitimate concerns in our lives. But they should also fall into the category of “things under God’s control.” Many, many times in his life, David found himself in situations that were not only fear-provoking, but also life-threatening. Yet, in today’s Scripture reading, we find David’s psalm of praise to the Lord who is his light and his salvation. “The Lord is the defense of my life, whom shall I dread?” he says in Psalm 27:1. Although our fears of death, disease, loneliness, bankruptcy, and terrorism are legitimized by the world, God wants us to know that He is greater than all of these things. He also wants us to avoid dwelling on and fretting about the things which frighten us. Instead, we are called to place our lives into His hands. God clearly tells us in His Word that He is with us always. (Matt. 28:20) He knows each of us intimately and is therefore aware of our fears and concerns. He knows our future and has a plan for it. (Jer 29:11) Take heart in the comforting words of (John 14:27), “Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.” God loves you and wants only the best for you. Knowing that He is in control of all things, will you let Him calm your fears? Copyright © 2000, IN TOUCH Magazine. In Touch Ministries. All Rights Reserved.

Charles Stanley Devotional 11 September: URL: intouch.org. “The fear of God kills all other fears.” Hugh Black How to Conquer Your Fears Psalm 34:4 Today is a solemn anniversary. One year ago today, the fears of millions became a vivid reality when one of history’s most heinous acts of terrorism was perpetrated on the world. We are talking, of course, about the terrorist attacks on New York City and the United States Pentagon, simultaneous assaults that took the lives of thousands of innocent men, women, and children. You probably remember where you were when you first heard about the attacks. You also may recall the sense of utter fear that filled your soul as you watched news reports of crashing airplanes, crumbling buildings, and massive loss of life. Is my city next? Am I safe? What about my family? We all asked questions like these. For a while, it seemed as though fear dictated our every move. In the months following, however, the entire world witnessed something amazing. In the midst of tragedy, people of all races, nationalities, and economic backgrounds pulled together and worked in unity. Lives were saved, families were comforted, and endless tons of rubble were cleared. The message rang out: Terror cannot overcome us if we do not allow it to. God has given us a bold spirit (2 Tim 1:7) and the promise of deliverance from our fears. (Psalm 34:4) Looking back over the past year, it is obvious that He has kept His promise. Thank Him for His powerful gift of strength and power in the face of fear. This Month’s Devotionals Copyright © 2000, IN TOUCH Magazine. In Touch Ministries. All Rights Reserved.
