The Sum Of All Fears

“I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from ALL my fears” Psalm 34:4

Of the many great Tom Clancy novels, the one where the title alone caused me to pull it off of a friends bookshelf was, “The Sum Of All Fears”. The words in the title foretold a tipping point at which our worst fears are realized and we are overcome. We don’t even have to know what the book is about to understand a countdown to destruction is underway. Today, you very likely carry such a countdown with you in your every day life. It’s called the sum of all those nagging little fears that don’t feel overwhelming yet, but, give them enough time and they have a way of compounding on you. So what’s the answer?

Give Every Fear, No Matter How Small, to God

So many times we pray to God over our overwhelming burdens, and yet we neglect the little dripping faucet of tiny fears that rob us of our minute by minute and hour by hour happiness in life. I’ve stopped counting how many times the Bible references God telling us not to fear but instead to bring our burdens to Him. Today is the day for you to take God up on His promise of relief. Give every burden you have to God! Pray for His leading, His wisdom, and His intervention, then stop worrying. He is all you need!
