Things That Go Bump In The Night

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Psalm 91:5

There are so many problems we see bearing down on us as we go through life--arrows by day, if you will--things that we can recognize and identify. But often more frightening are the ones we can't see, the worries and fears, the what-ifs, the unknown...the terrors by night. We fear what we can't see or understand because we feel even less in control than usual. But the fact of the matter is, we're not in control either way, whether we see the problem or not, whether we understand it or not. It's almost always out of our control. That doesn't mean we have to be afraid, though! God hasn't given us a spirit of fear; if we're living in fear, it's because we're trying to live through ourselves. Stop it! We have a Spirit of power, wisdom, and a sound mind Who can handle all of our problems, trials, and dangers--even the ones that go bump in the night.
